I have never liked Apple and lately even less. F… US monopolies

    It let’s you type “eiffel tower” into search and get those pictures. Rather than all the other unspeakable things you did in Paris that night

      Current implementation seems like overkill. Why not just:

      • Search “Eiffel tower”
      • send search term to Apple server that already exists (Apple Maps)
      • server returns gps coordinates for that term
      • photos app displays photos in order of nearest to those coordinates

        Because you took two selfies in a restaurant near there, made a huge stunning collage of a duck below the tower and a couple photos from a while away to get the whole tower in view.

        I’m running this tech at home, because we had the same use case. Except for me it’s running on a nas, not Apple’s servers. The location solution doesn’t quite work as well when you’re avid photographer

          If you read the article, you would know that the hard work is done locally on your iPhone not on apples server.

            If you read the article thoroughly you’d know that a smaller model runs locally, to get an guess that a landmark might be in a spot in the image. The actual identification and tagging is done in the cloud. The tag is then sent back.

        Because then they don’t have an excuse to move all your data to Apple servers and scan it for later use.
