Two of the world’s largest tech companies might be teaming up to put AI in your pocket: Apple and Google are in talks to integrate Gemini into the iPhone.
Takeaways:
- Potential Gemini integration: Apple and Google are reportedly in negotiations about rolling out Gemini-powered AI capabilities to iPhones. If a licensing deal goes through, new AI capabilities could be a big part of the upcoming iOS 18 upgrade.
- AI iPhone features: Possible AI features for iPhones could include generative wallpapers, text generation, photo editing, and Siri upgrades.
- Apple’s AI development: Behind the scenes, Apple has been busy developing its own AI models, begging the question why they would rely on one of its biggest AI competitors.
- Importance of the partnership: Google already pays Apple billions of dollars to make it the default search engine on Apple devices. If this deal goes through, Apple’s 2 billion devices could become home to Gemini, raising potential antitrust concerns.
