Apple is in talks to let Google’s Gemini power iPhone generative AI features

Apple is preparing new capabilities as part of iOS 18. For years, Google has paid Apple billions of dollars annually to make its search engine the default option in the Safari web browser on the iPhone and other devices. A deal would give Gemini a key edge with billions of potential users. But it also may be a sign that Apple isn’t as far along with its AI efforts as some might have hoped — and threatens to draw further antitrust scrutiny of both companies.
