Apple's AI Double Date: iPhone Update Might Include BOTH ChatGPT and Gemini

Apple will reportedly add Google’s Gemini AI with ChatGPT to iOS 18 this year. The company has confirmed that it will partner with OpenAI and add ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, to the operating system. Apple also revealed that they will not limit themselves to ChatGPT and will soon bring more options for other chatbots in other versions of the operating system.

According to Bloomberg, Google’s Gemini AI will also be integrated with iOS 18, which will be rolled out later this year. Apart from that, the tech giant may introduce Anthropic’s cloud AI to its smartphones as well. The report revealed that if the timing is right, Apple may offer both Gemini and ChatGPT until Apple Intelligence is fully rolled out.

Notably, there were some reports that suggested iPhone makers could delay some AI features until late 2024 or early 2025. These AI features that may be delayed by the end of 2024 will be included in the Mail app and Swift support for Xcode. It has also been reported that most of Siri’s AI features will only be available in 2025. The report also confirmed that Apple was never in talks to integrate Meta’s Llama 3 into iOS 18, despite several reports suggesting the same.

Additionally, it has been learned that the US-based tech giant plans to introduce a subscription model for its AI tools and features in the future. Initially, Apple plans to offer these tools and features for free on iOS 18-supported devices. However, later on, they will charge for them as they have long-term plans to monetize these AI features that will be available on Apple.
