Whether you consider it bloatware or not may depend on your plan to use AI on a mobile device, but one thing is for sure about all hardware and many services that are adding AI features: They’re getting more expensive. 

Adding the power to run AI tools locally costs money. If all Pixel phones are going to do all the AI work on photos and all the iPhones are going to process ChatGPT interactions locally, that’s going to require more expensive hardware. 

If all Windows PCs will come with Recall, the same thing applies. The chips that can handle these transactions are in high demand and are not cheap.
