Pretty much 

Apple does indeed collect info on its users. That’s why they offer an opt-out - Knowing that most don’t bother. 

As far as I am aware, the opt-out feature is for third-party apps running in the Apple ecosystem.  I don't recall ever being asked if I wanted to opt out of an Apple product.  Correct me if I am wrong.

I hope this has LAM as well as LLM; being able to have 'Ask' do stuff will be a paradigm shift in personal computing on a Star Trekian level.  I believe it will, and this all using on-device edge technology.  My best guess is this will be released on the next iPhone with limited support for the last few iterations.  It would be cool if HomePod II also has support secretly already.

I seriously doubt this.

This isn't a criticism per se, but this does read like a cheap attempt by this single-plane airline out of the Maldives to gain some press off of the Apple Vision Pro.

Or attract passengers?  Sounds like a great marketing idea to me.  I hope every airline does this, and soon, we are flying a first-class round trip to Europe in July; I'd love it if this were the case on our flights.
