Apple resumes discussions with OpenAI for iPhone generative AI capabilities | Tech Updates

Apple is in talks with OpenAI to potentially use their generative AI technology in upcoming iPhone features for iOS 18. According to Bloomberg News, Apple has renewed discussions with OpenAI about integrating the startup’s generative AI technology into the next iPhone operating system.

The companies are currently discussing the terms of a potential agreement and how OpenAI features would be integrated into iOS 18. This move comes as Apple looks to enhance the capabilities of its iPhone through advanced AI technology.

Apple has not made a final decision on which partners it will use for generative AI features, but the company could potentially reach an agreement with both OpenAI and Google, or choose another provider entirely. This development follows a previous report that Apple was in talks to license Google’s Gemini chatbot for new iPhone features.

Generative AI technology allows devices to generate human-like responses to written prompts, and Apple has been slower in rolling out this technology compared to competitors like Microsoft and Google. However, Apple CEO Tim Cook has stated that the company is investing significantly in generative AI and plans to reveal more about its implementation later this year.

As Apple continues to explore partnerships with AI technology providers, the integration of OpenAI’s generative AI features into iOS 18 could bring new capabilities and functionalities to the iPhone user experience. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
