Apple Asks Google for Permission to Use Gemini AI Feature on iPhone It has been reported that Apple is trying to collaborate with Google to bring the Gemini AI feature to the iPhone. The news of a collaboration with Google came out when Apple was saying that it would bring AI features to the next version of the iPhone.
International media outlet Bloomberg, citing a source close to Apple, is seeking a license from Gemini to bring AI features to the next iOS update.
Looking at the statistics of Apple employees last year, it can be understood that they are working on various tools related to generative AI. Recently, Apple bought Canadian startup Darwin AI to bring AI features to iOS 18. However, collaborating with a third party could mean that Apple is not making progress in building its own AI.
However, it seems that Apple may introduce some AI features in iOS 18. Which is expected to be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
The cooperation of these companies with celebrities from the technology world may not be easy. However, there has been cooperation between these companies in some areas for years. Which Google has been paying Apple billions of dollars annually for years to make its search engine the default on iPhones and other devices.
But the government agencies have been raising questions about that cooperation. The government has accused Apple and Google of working as a single entity to narrow the search engine market. Similarly, the European Union is also forcing Apple to make it easier to change the search engine without making it the default. Besides, Gemini has its own problems.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is also talking with OpenAI to keep GPT model features in the iPhone. However, these companies have not officially said anything about the collaboration.
