Rumors have long suggested that Apple will partner with other AI chatbot companies in the future to support Apple Intelligence features. Apple already partnered with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT to iOS, and that integration is now here in iOS 18.2, which is expected to release to the public next week.
We haven’t yet heard any announcements about other integrations, such as Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude, which Bloomberg previously reported would be coming. Apple software exec Craig Federighi even stated in an interview that he’d like to see Gemini integration within Apple Intelligence, all the way back in June.
However, according to a recent tidbit from Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, we may now have a better idea of Apple’s timeline:
Other future improvements include an integration with Google Gemini. But Apple will probably give OpenAI a nice window of exclusivity, especially since it isn’t exactly paying for the technology. So I wouldn’t expect the Gemini chatbot to arrive in iOS until next year.
So, at least according to Gurman, we won’t see Google Gemini integration until next year – though it isn’t quite clear whether that means sometime in the spring (like iOS 18.4), or later in the year, sometime during the iOS 19 release cycle.
Gurman has also recently reported that Apple is delaying a “larger-than-usual” number of iOS 19 features, so it’s possible that Google Gemini integration will take even longer, possibly missing the initial iOS 19.0 release.
If you still really want to use Gemini on your iPhone though, you’re in luck! Google released a standalone Gemini app on the App Store last month, allowing iOS users to tap into Google’s latest AI developments from their pocket.
Apple plans to unveil iOS 19 in early June 2025 at its Worldwide Developers Conference. Rumors suggest Apple is developing a new “LLM Siri,” but details beyond that remain light.
