After ChatGPT, Apple Eyes Google’s Gemini AI for Siri Boost

Apple is reportedly working on integrating Google’s Gemini AI model into its Apple Intelligence ecosystem, alongside OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

A backend code in the iOS 18.4 beta version revealed references to third-party AI models, including “Google” and “OpenAI,” suggesting Apple may add Gemini AI support.

Apple aims to enhance its AI capabilities and give users the flexibility to choose their preferred AI model for various tasks, making Siri and other AI-driven features more powerful.

No, Gemini AI is expected to be an additional option rather than a replacement. Users may be able to choose between ChatGPT and Gemini AI based on their preferences.

Gemini AI integration could enhance Siri’s performance, improve task management, and bring advanced AI features like better personal context and on-screen awareness.

There is no official confirmation yet, but the backend code in iOS 18.4 suggests that Apple is actively working on it, and it may roll out in a future iOS update.

Apple Intelligence, including AI model integration, is expected to be available on newer iPhones, likely starting from iPhone 15 Pro models and beyond.

By integrating multiple AI models, Apple is positioning itself to compete with other AI-driven ecosystems from Google and Samsung, while enhancing user experience.

While Apple hasn’t officially confirmed this, the presence of multiple AI models suggests that users may get the option to switch between them for different tasks.

Some concerns include data privacy, AI bias, and whether this integration will truly add value to Apple’s AI features or make them dependent on external AI models
