Apple is allowing users to route Apple Intelligence queries through Claude, Gemini, or other third-party models rather than defaulting to its own infrastructure. The move fragments the data moat Apple has guarded; instead of training on user queries directly, Apple becomes the interface layer while Anthropic and Google capture the intelligence work and user behavioral data. The competitive advantage goes to whichever AI company integrates most frictionlessly into daily writing and task workflows, not to Apple's choice architecture itself.
