Apple just held its latest WWDC event, and we’re all still reeling from the announcements. Everything from the calculator app on the iPad to iOS 18’s take on Material You to AI (Apple Intelligence); the company introduced some great stuff. After the keynote, however, we got some other news. According to a new report, Apple could implement Gemini into iOS 18.
Some of the more notable announcements we got during WWDC involved the latest version of iOS. This is iOS 18, and it comes chock-full of AI goodies. The artificial intelligence is baked deeply into the software, and it goes far beyond what we’re getting from the likes of Galaxy AI. We’re even seeing better integration than Gemini on Android. So, it looks like Google has some catching up to do.
Apple could implement Gemini into iOS 18
A few weeks before WWDC, we were following rumors that Apple was looking to partner with either OpenAI or Google to use their models. When the company announced Apple Intelligence, it also mentioned OpenAI. When the system needs to access larger language models in the cloud, it will contact GPT-4o. So, it’s clear that Apple chose to go with OpenAI.
However, the story doesn’t end there. Craig Federighi, the company’s senior vice president of software engineering, mentioned that Apple may still be open to bringing in Google’s models. “We want to enable users ultimately to choose the models they want, maybe Google Gemini in the future,” he told reporters after the keynote.
Right now, there are a ton of models for the company to choose from, but GPT-4o and Gemini seem to be some of the best ones. This is despite the fact that Gemini has been dropping the ball in several areas. In any case, it’s still nice that the company wants to give people the opportunity to choose. Having more choices is always better. At this point, this is still early information, so we’ll have to wait for more details over time.
