They are right about ARM architecture but they wrong about their perceived security. I would not trust them with anything, another "spiel" to sell more of your data (don't they have everything already? oh wait that's FBI :-))

It says deeply integrated in the OS. So there is probably no way to uninstall it.

These models run on servers powered by Apple silicon, providing a foundation that allows Apple to ensure that data is never retained or exposed.
Um what, how does the processor affect privacy? Sounds like privacy theater which is red flag.

It's likely attestation done the same way Signal protects your contact data by using secure enclaves. Doesn't seem like an issue to me if we can cryptographically verify the source code running on their servers. Maybe wait for that?

There was a significant partnership with openai announced so I am hopefully there will be options to only run locally or disable all external llm calls

The post says OpenAI is opt-in but apple’s own cloud models seem to be required. I’d guess you can nerf even their own models if you want but that might be optimistic.

Yeah. The addition of ChatGPT was mentioned in a section where they said developers could add their own AI models... Which I thought was a win because it's the same thing everyone would immediately moan about after. ChatGPT was just integrated (very primitively at that) so you can use it if you want or if you're already paying for it. Consumer choice?
