Google is reportedly close to striking a deal with Apple to integrate its Gemini AI technology into iPhones. In a recent development, Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that the company plans to roll out this integration by the end of 2025.
The integration would enable Siri to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for more complex questions, similar to Apple’s existing ChatGPT integration. This deal is seen as significant, as it marks another major collaboration between Google and Apple on AI technology.
According to Pichai, he met with Apple CEO Tim Cook to discuss AI development, including the distribution of Gemini. Cook reportedly expressed interest in adding more third-party AI models to Apple Intelligence later this year.
Additionally, internal iOS 18.4 beta reveals references to “Google” as an Apple Intelligence model choice, further hinting at the integration’s likelihood. This deal could bring significant value to both companies and users, expanding access to advanced AI capabilities on iPhones.
