Tony Fadell, the "father of the iPod" and co-founder of the iPhone, stated that first-generation AI gadgets like the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin fail to solve real problems, calling them merely "interesting tech for geeks" that haven't won consumer trust. He believes successful AI agents need to run entirely on-device to ensure privacy and lightness. He noted that Apple has an advantage in hardware and user trust, but its AI model still relies on Google Gemini.
