Apple wants Galaxy S24-like Gemini AI on iPhone?

Apple executives confirmed that the company wants to work with Google to bring Gemini AI to the iPhone models. Yesterday, the company introduced Apple Intelligence, which is packed with artificial intelligence and Generative AI features.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will get Apple Intelligence with iOS 18 update. The company’s executives disclosed the expectation to work with Google so Gemini AI could come to iPhone. For now, only OpenAI is an official partner with Apple, which brings ChatGPT.

Google and Samsung closely worked to bring Gemini AI to Pixel and Galaxy smartphones. The next-gen smartphones will likely bring enhanced Gemini Nano or Gemini Nano v2. However, Apple also wants Gemini to be available on iPhone models.

“We’re looking forward to doing integrations with other models, including Google Gemini, for instance, in the future,” Federighi said during a post-keynote conversation. He quickly added that the company had “nothing to announce right now, but that’s our general direction.”

Yesterday, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence which will bring various generative AI tools to iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. The company has officially announced that it has partnered with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI to fuel AI power in iOS 18.

Craig Federighi’s full comment on the topic:

• We think, ultimately, people are going to have a preference perhaps for certain models that they want to use, maybe one that’s great for creative writing or one that they prefer for coding. And so we want to enable users, ultimately, to bring a model of their choice. And so we may look forward to doing integrations with different models like Google Gemini in the future. I mean, nothing to announce right now, but that’s our direction.
