"Tim Cook says Apple has plans to embed more third-party AI tools into the company's operating systems. "Our intention is to integrate with more people over time," Cook said in an interview with CNBC. Apple has already embedded ChatGPT into Siri, with a Google Gemini integration said to be in the works, along with rumors swirling about a partnership with Anthropic and Perplexity."
"Cook also said that Apple is on track to release an AI-upgraded Siri next year, adding that "our intention is to integrate with more people over time." Apple is "making good progress" on Siri, he added during an earnings call on Thursday, noting that AI acquisitions are still on the table. "We are open to pursuing M&A [mergers and acquisitions] if we think that it will advance our roadmap," Cook said, echoing a statement from July."
"Even with last month's launch of the iPhone 17, Apple has yet to realize its plans for AI, which is supposed to bring an enhanced Siri across its devices. A recent report from Bloomberg suggested that Apple could partner with Google to build an AI search tool for Siri. Google CEO Sundar Pichai also confirmed last year that the company is working on Gemini support for the iPhone."
Apple plans to embed more third-party AI tools into its operating systems and expand integrations over time. ChatGPT is already embedded into Siri, and a Google Gemini integration is reported to be in development, with rumors of partnerships with Anthropic and Perplexity. Apple executives indicated potential future integrations with different models and targeted an AI-upgraded Siri next year. Apple reported progress on Siri and said AI acquisitions remain possible if they advance the roadmap. Apple posted a record $102.5 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, an eight percent year-over-year increase, with $49.03 billion from iPhone sales.
