Craig Federighi says Apple hopes to add Google Gemini and other AI models to iOS 18

Apple has announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18 as part of its WWDC announcements. The company's executives, Craig Federighi and John Giannandrea, hinted at a possible future agreement with Google Gemini during a follow-up interview. The discussion, moderated by iJustine, took place at the Steve Jobs Theater and focused on Apple's AI goals. Federighi mentioned the company's intention to allow users to choose between different AI models, with Google Gemini potentially being an option in the future.

The initial focus on ChatGPT was due to Apple's desire to "start with the best". The company plans to roll out Apple Intelligence features later this year, which will be available for free on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, as well as all M-series Macs and iPads.
