JAKARTA - Rumors about Apple's plan to integrate AI chatbot technology from other companies continue to grow. After successfully presenting ChatGPT in collaboration with OpenAI on iOS 18.2, which is scheduled to be released next week, attention is now focused on the possibility of integration with other technologies such as Google Gemini and Anthropic's Claude.

Although there has been no official announcement from Apple, a previous report from Bloomberg revealed that Apple has considered this collaboration. Craig Federighi, Apple's senior software executive, even briefly stated in an interview in June that he supports Google Gemini's idea of integration into Apple Intelligence.

However, the latest information from the Power On bulletin written by Mark Gurman provides a clearer picture of the possibility of this integration schedule. In its report, Gurman said that Apple seems to be giving OpenAI an exclusivity time first, given that Apple doesn't have to pay the cost of using the technology. Thus, Google Gemini's integration is likely to be present at iOS next year.

When exactly will this integration happen is still a question mark. Gurman speculated that this could happen in the spring, perhaps through an iOS 18.4 update, or even longer, until the cycle released by iOS 19. However, the latest report states that Apple is delaying a number of major features for iOS 19, so Google Gemini integration may miss the initial launch of iOS 19.0.

For iPhone users who want to try Google Gemini early, there's good news. Last month, Google released the Gemini app independently on the App Store, allowing iOS users to enjoy their latest AI technology directly from their devices.

Apple plans to reveal iOS 19 in early June 2025 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). In addition to rumors about Google Gemini's integration, another report states that Apple is developing LLM Siri, although the details are still minimal.

This integration is expected to provide a more sophisticated and diverse experience for iOS users, along with Apple's move to continue to innovate in the field of artificial intelligence technology.
