Apple Inc. is close to finalizing a deal with OpenAI to bring AI features to the iPhone, particularly using ChatGPT in iOS 18. Discussions with Google for Gemini chatbot licensing are also ongoing. This move aligns with Apple’s strategy to enhance AI capabilities across its product range.

Apple’s AI initiatives will be a highlight at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Tim Cook disclosed using OpenAI’s ChatGPT personally, with plans to integrate it thoughtfully into Apple’s ecosystem. Cook emphasized Apple’s commitment to AI advancements methodically and strategically, leveraging proprietary processors in data centers.

During Apple’s recent earnings call, Cook emphasized the transformative potential of AI and Apple’s unique advantages. The imminent collaboration with OpenAI underscores Apple’s dedication to seamless integration of hardware, software, and services for a competitive edge in AI innovation. Discussions with Google and a focus on AI signal Apple’s drive towards enhancing user experience across products.

OpenAI is reportedly set to unveil an AI-powered search product, expanding ChatGPT’s capabilities in retrieving information from the web with citations.
