During WWDC 2024, Apple software chief Craig Federighi hinted that the company wants to integrate more AI models, including Google Gemini.
Now, a new leak suggests that this integration could be on the way in the near future, writes 9to5Mac.
According to code reviewer Aaron Perris, who analysed a backend update in the iOS 18.4 beta, Apple has added both Google and OpenAI as options for third-party models within Apple Intelligence.
While this doesn’t confirm that Google Gemini will be available right away in iOS 18.4, it does show that Apple is working on the integration.
Given the delays that have already hit Apple Intelligence, it may take until a later iOS 18 update or iOS 19 before the feature becomes available. Apple is also expected to release its own conversational model for Siri in iOS 19.
Meanwhile, Google has recently launched Gemini 2.0, including a new model for advanced reasoning capabilities. These models may soon make their debut on the iPhone – at least for users of the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16/16 Pro and iPhone 16e.
