FYI: Speech recognition is an AI feature and it gets (marginally) better with the newer chips. For example, in noisy environments.

That's probably the most-used AI thing that nearly everyone uses on occasion. Older phones had to send your speech to the cloud but with the new chips all that processing can be handled locally.
