Apple signs deal with OpenAI for iOS, still wants Google as an 'option'


Apple has reportedly inked a deal with OpenAI for its chatbot tech like ChatGPT to appear on iOS 18. But Google might still be an 'option.'

Gurman says the iPhone maker is still working on a deal with Google to offer Gemini as an “option,” but we shouldn’t expect this to be touted next month. Previous leaks suggested that Apple is working on its own Ajax AI model for on-device text analysis, smart replies, and summaries. So it stands to reason that ChatGPT and other OpenAI tech will be used for analyzing longer bodies of text, image generation, and similarly demanding tasks.
