According to foreign media reports, Apple may be planning to integrate Google's Gemini AI model into its Apple Intelligence system. The news comes from firmware analyst Aaron Perris' code study on the first beta version of iOS 18.4, who discovered that a new reference to the backend code is to use "Google" as a third-party model option.

This discovery echoes Apple's previous strategic layout. According to 9to5Mac, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, said last year that the Apple Intelligence platform will not be limited to ChatGPT, but will support more third-party AI models, which specifically mentioned Gemini.
These signs indicate that Apple is actively expanding its AI partnership to provide users with more diverse AI service options. However, since this information mainly comes from beta code analysis, the specific implementation details and final deployment timetable still need to be officially confirmed.
Apple has always been committed to improving its AI technology capabilities, and through cooperation with technology giants such as Google, it can further enrich the functions of its AI ecosystem. As Google's advanced AI model, Gemini's integration will bring more innovation and possibilities to Apple Intelligence.
In addition, Apple's move also reflects the current fierce competition in the AI field in the technology industry. Major companies are seeking to strengthen their technological strength through cooperation to gain a good position in the future AI market. The cooperation between Apple and Google will undoubtedly bring users a smarter and more convenient experience.
Although no official detailed plan has been announced yet, it is foreseeable that the cooperation between Apple and Google will inject new vitality into the development of AI technology. In the future, we may be able to see more similar cooperation to promote the widespread application of AI technology in various fields.
