Apple is set to expand its AI capabilities on iOS by incorporating Google Gemini alongside ChatGPT. This move comes after Apple announced the integration of OpenAI’s ChatGPT service into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS during WWDC 2024.
Users can expect enhancements in their experience with Apple devices as they will have access to ChatGPT for both simple and complex queries. Apple Intelligence will handle basic queries, while ChatGPT will assist with more intricate questions. Users can even send documents and photos to ChatGPT for detailed answers.
Moreover, ChatGPT will be accessible through Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools, allowing users to generate text content as needed. Additionally, users can utilize ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities to create contextual images.
In a recent Bloomberg report, it was revealed that Apple is working with Google to integrate Gemini into iOS in the upcoming months. This collaboration is expected to be part of the Apple Intelligence launch scheduled for the fall. Speculations about this integration have been circulating, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman anticipating an announcement around the time of the launch.
Furthermore, Apple is also collaborating with Anthropic on a similar integration. Notably, the partnership with OpenAI for ChatGPT integration is non-exclusive and does not involve financial transactions. In contrast, a potential partnership with Meta’s Llama chatbot seems unlikely, as Apple has reservations about Meta’s privacy practices. Apple considers OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to offer superior AI capabilities compared to Meta at present.
These developments signify Apple’s commitment to enhancing user experiences through advanced AI technologies from reputable partners. The integration of Google Gemini alongside ChatGPT on iOS is poised to provide users with a seamless and comprehensive AI-powered ecosystem.
