Apple Reportedly Preparing to Add Google’s Gemini AI to Siri

Leaked iOS 18.4 beta code suggests Apple may soon integrate Google Gemini into its Apple Intelligence platform, offering an alternative to ChatGPT.

New backend code in the iOS 18.4 beta references Google Gemini as a potential third-party AI model option alongside OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
If integrated, Gemini would allow Siri to handle more complex queries, enhancing Apple Intelligence’s capabilities for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users.
The integration aligns with Apple’s stated intention to support multiple AI models, as hinted by Craig Federighi during WWDC 2024.
While the timeline remains uncertain, the leak suggests Gemini could be introduced in a future iOS 18 update or possibly with iOS 19.
Gemini integration could improve Apple’s competitive position in AI features, which have lagged behind offerings from rivals like Samsung.
