Gemini, the in-house AI model for Google, is said to be unavailable for iPhones within the next year, 2025 at the earliest—it has been suggested. Although Apple signaled the potential of a more wide-ranging partnership with several different AI tools, the company is currently focusing exclusively on its collaboration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Google Gemini won’t be coming to iOS this year, as written in Mark Gurman’s newsletter. Apple is now granting OpenAI, which has ChatGPT compatibility in iOS 18.2, an “exclusivity period.” In his most recent “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman suggested that Apple is likely to provide OpenAI with an exclusive window before the rollout of Gemini.
Indeed, strengthened in a recent report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple Intelligence—the company’s AI branch—may not use ChatGPT once it spreads globally in December.
Interestingly, Gurman wonders whether Apple’s decision to slow down the integration of Gemini into its AI environment is conscious of giving OpenAI a chance to work within the company solely.
As per the media releases, this came after statements by Craig Federighi, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) early in the year 2024, that Apple Intelligence might be syncopated with other AI models, including Gemini.
Still, in his recent update, Gurman said that it is still unclear when an Apple foreign iPad would be integrated with iOS, and it will not be before 2025 at least.
The upcoming release in December, iOS 18.2, is expected to introduce Apple Intelligence across all iPhones. However, it is said to be absent from Europe and China, at least for the first time since the introduction of the car.
It is said that the programs are to be launched in countries within the European Union in April 2025, and China is expected to have a mutation in iOS 19 in October 2025.
