Gemma 4 on iPhone

Google’s new AI Edge Gallery app says it runs the latest Gemma 4 model directly on your iPhone — no internet needed — and the comments lit up faster than a flashlight command. One camp cried “is this real?” after hadrien01 called the App Store page “MS Paint energy,” pointing to pixelated text and janky visuals. The other camp rolled their eyes: jeroenhd dropped the English page and the Android link, while another commenter snapped, “I’m tired of this concern trolling.”

Meanwhile, the hype squad is busy testing. pmarreck’s vibe: “Agent skills and mobile actions, all local… Whaaaat?” People are buzzing about “mobile actions” — the app can trigger basics like turning on your flashlight — and the wish list is already here: “Please add Siri Shortcuts so I can automate my life like Apple promised.” PullJosh claims it works on his iPhone with “good results,” even if the cloud still wins in raw power.

Bonus drama: the app’s “Thinking Mode” shows step-by-step reasoning, like watching an AI “show its work.” Cue jokes: “Siri, pack your bags,” “Gemma in my pocket,” and “Is this a fake listing or my Wi‑Fi?” The real fight: skepticism vs. hands-on proof, with on-device AI feeling suddenly very real — paint pixels and all.
