Apple is already doing this... they worked with Gemini to distill the model into a smaller one that fits on your phone. If you have iOS 27 Beta, you're already using this

DS4 Flash Q2/Q4 mixed quant fits on a DGX Spark (a $4000 device which is not particularly unheard of expense for Apple customers), and is indistinguishable for me from Opus for my personal daily use/assistant benchmarks[0].

Almost surely. Apple is extremely well positioned to take advantage of this over the next decade.
