A report suggests that Apple is still looking across the spectrum of AI providers for iOS 18, with OpenAi again in conversations with the iPhone maker.
There’s not a lot to Friday’s report from Bloomberg that hasn’t already been discussed. The key point from it, is that discussions have started again, or are perhaps continuing with OpenAI for potential inclusion in iOS 18, somehow.
Previous rumors made it clear that Apple had discussions with OpenAI. Friday’s report says that the technology could make it to iOS 18 in the form of a chatbot. Whether this is to supplement or replace Siri, isn’t clear.
If the report is accurate, OpenAI is not the only generative tech that Apple is considering integrating. Rumors suggest Apple is in talks with Google to provide iOS 18 users access to Gemini, somehow.
