Apple has been gradually introducing artificial intelligence into its products, unlike its competitors, who are moving faster in this area. Over the past year, the company has been gradually adding new features, although the long-awaited Siri 2.0 update has experienced delays. While users are waiting for the next generation of AI features from Apple, the company plans to integrate third-party solutions into its AI system, such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
About a year ago, Craig Federighi hinted at the possibility of integrating different AI models, suggesting that after ChatGPT, Gemini could join Siri 2.0.
Apple recently released the beta version of iOS 18.4, which contains a number of new features related to Apple’s AI. Moreover, references to third-party AI models were found in the system code. This raised speculations about the possible integration of Gemini into Apple Intelligence.
Thus, the beta version of iOS 18.4 has internal code that contains references to Google and OpenAI, indicating the possibility of integrating Gemini AI into the Apple ecosystem. This may allow users to choose the preferred AI model to perform certain tasks. Although this does not guarantee that Gemini will appear in the final version of iOS 18.4, the presence of such references in the code indicates active work in this direction. We may see a preview of this integration on compatible iPhones in the near future.
Gemini is expected to provide improved personalization, but it also raises questions about the uniqueness of Apple’s AI features and their contribution to the company’s ecosystem. Specific details of the integration and Gemini’s role in Apple products will be revealed in the near future.
Earlier, journalist Mark Gurman suggested that Apple might initially provide OpenAI with a period of exclusivity before starting cooperation with other partners such as Google Gemini. Currently, the text tools in Apple Intelligence support both ChatGPT and Siri, and the Compose feature allows creating images using a chatbot.
For the time being most iPhone owners are not satisfied with Apple Intelligence. Therefore, it is obvious that Apple is seeking to expand the capabilities of artificial intelligence in its devices by providing users with a choice between different AI models. Recently, it was reported that Apple chooses Alibaba Qwen model as an AI service provider for the Chinese market.
