Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Partnership

While Apple plans to retain some cloud-based AI capabilities by working with providers like Google’s Gemini, the company aims to prioritize on-device processing of its AI capabilities. Discussions have reportedly been held with tech giants such as Google, OpenAI and China’s Baidu about potential generative AI partners.

While iOS 18 may not include Apple’s own ChatGPT-like chatbot, it’s still uncertain whether Gemini or other chatbots will be integrated directly into the operating system. Analysts say Apple is actively investing in artificial intelligence servers, hinting at the possibility of introducing more cloud-based in-house AI capabilities in the future.
