Currently, Apple Intelligence offers the ability to direct Siri requests to ChatGPT, providing more contextual answers than what Siri would be able to offer. Back at WWDC24, Apple software exec Craig Federighi suggested in an interview that theyd like to offer integration with other AI models, including Google Gemini. That integration may arrive in the not too distant future, according to a new leak.In a backend update pushed alongside iOS 18.4 beta, Apple now includes both Google and OpenAI options for third-party models within Apple Intelligence. This comes from code sleuth Aaron Perris on X.While this doesnt necessarily confirm that well see Gemini integration later in iOS 18.4, especially given all of the other Apple Intelligence delays that have occurred so far, it does nearly confirm that itll come at some point in the near future, perhaps in a later iOS 18 update or iOS 19. Apple is expected to release its own conversational Siri model in iOS 19.Google recently released some new Gemini 2.0 models, including a new reasoning model. Its possible that these new models will debut on the iPhone in the near future. At least, if you own an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16/16 Pro, or the new iPhone 16e.My favorite iPhone accessories on Amazon:Follow Michael:X/Twitter,Bluesky,InstagramAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
