Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple has resumed discussions with OpenAI regarding the integration of OpenAI technology for AI features in iOS 18.
Earlier this year, Apple engaged in discussions with OpenAI, but no concrete outcomes emerged. Now, reports indicate that Apple and OpenAI are in talks to finalize terms for a potential agreement, exploring how Apple could integrate OpenAI features into its ecosystem.
Simultaneously, Apple is also in ongoing discussions with Google regarding the licensing of Google’s Gemini AI. However, no definitive decision has been made by Apple yet. There’s speculation that Apple might collaborate with both Google and OpenAI or opt for another provider altogether.
Rumors suggest that the upcoming iOS 18 will heavily emphasize AI, with Apple planning to implement AI functionality throughout the operating system. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook confirmed the company’s intention to push the boundaries of AI during February.
A sneak peek at Apple’s planned AI features is anticipated in just over a month, as iOS 18 is slated to debut at the Worldwide Developers Conference starting on June 10th.
