Apple introduces iPad mini built for Apple Intelligence

I find it hilarious that Apple is selling the new iphones with AI features that only works on the new devices because they apparently don't require the cloud, and instead run locally.

Apple's logic:- saving private photos on the cloud is good for privacy, while doing AI computation on the cloud is somehow bad for it ?

The logic is sound. Storage can be end-to-end encrypted, but it cannot be used for computation.
