This effectively means:

The LLM industry must keep the RAM prices at absurd levels. Otherwise Local LLM will ruin their business models.

There will be a lot of pressure on system makers to offer only "small" systems (below 128GB RAM).

You have to read Apples statements in light of that context. They removed the systems that were perfect for local LLMs from their lineup.

I imagine talks like "Nice product line you have there. It would be a shame if you were to be totally cut off from the the RAM market."

And let us be clear: compared to the money at stake, Apple is no longer a big fish.
