Apple in Talks With Google to Bring Gemini AI Features to iPhone

The idea is that Google Search being the default search engine on iOS makes Google a lot of money and helps them dominate the internet ad business while here in this case it would cost them a lot of money to allow Apple to use Gemeni so it's makes no sense for them to pay apple just to lose money(also I doubt it's legal in the first place).
Microsoft would just ask a price as well as they would be in the same situation.
Google already has more than enough data and devices to train Gemini on, they don't really need Apple.

It's not really, also Google isn't selling ads here. And google has more than enough data already and running servers is not cheap.
There is no “enough data” for Google businesses. Not for search. And not for AI. If it is Google would simply stop paying for search on iOS years ago.
For Google the more the better, especially from premium users like Apple’s.
Google doesn't sell any users data, it sells ad space.
I didn’t know Gemini Ultra was miles ahead of GPT4 Turbo. I’m a user of GPT Plus and if Gemini Ultra is so much better, honestly I want to try it. If it’s priced similarly to the GPT Plus subscription, that’s it.
So… is there an easy way to easily use and suscribe to this Gemini model from my iPhone? And of course, being able to subscribe from the App Store, I’m not giving Google my card number and other sensitive data.
I’m from Europe by the way, I’m not sure if Google is still limiting the territories that can access to Gemini.
Yeah that’s what I meant, didn’t word it particularly well lol. But they probably offer the data from users clicking ads etc to the ad agencies.
Now you are just making stuff up for no reason.
There are over 3 billion users of Google's services. Nobody has that many users, how is that "not enough"?
Funny, you don't even understand why Google pays to be the default search engine on iOS in the first place.
Google's AI features were not created for "premium users" anyway.
No, they don't offer any specific user data in any form to anybody.
No, I think too many people have had such bad experiences with Siri that they've ditched her for good. Imo, Apple needs a fresh start for a capable AI-assistant — a new name would be the most effective way to communicate that story.
Couldn’t agree more. I wish we were wrong but… unless they really impress us with iOS 18 macOS 15, I think we have reasons to be pessimistic.
The Revenge of the Nerds.
Apple wanted to hang out with the cool kids (via Apple TV+) instead of working hard with the nerds (Microsoft and Google). Look where this got them!
Let Jennifer Aniston help them with the AI.
Tim must go because it’s under his leadership Apple missed the AI train.

AI at this moment is largely open source so in the end it comes down to hardware, AI server farms. Apple did not build these out yet so it has to outsource by paying or to be payed, that’s not clear yet.
A power efficient AI M-chip is certainly in the works so I wouldn’t minimise Apple’s role in the AI world as AI will use huge amounts of power in the years to come.

Some people here downvoted me because last week I said that Apple was caught off guard. They’re in denial about how far behind Apple is when it comes to AI.
Maybe Apple TV+ will help AAPL stock. Not!

No company that depends on data will sell it to others. They use the data for Real Time Bidding (RTB) where the customers can bid for potential targets based on certain demography. Google does the processing needed to target the ads to the specific demographic. Every ad company wants similar capabilities and hence will try their best to develop similar capabilities. If they do not have it yet, it is because they are inept. Apple is developing similar capabilities.
Apple looks to boost App Store ads with AI-powered buying tools
Apple tests AI-powered ad buying: Its tool focuses on App Store ads and allows advertisers to set budgets and cost per user before automatic placement.
Like you’re making stuffs up that Google has enough data now?
Sure, Isn’t it you who said Google has enough data now? Then why are they still paying billions a year to Apple?
LOL. Is this Google telling you themselves or you’re “making stuffs up”?
LMAO. It’s clear you have no idea what Google actually selling.
Google has never been selliing “space”.
If this reports are true, then yes I agree with you. I still remember their stubbornness to avoid mentioning “AI” up until recently, when they started using the term abundantly on their website and press communications.
And if the requester is driving Siri will say, “Here's what I found on Gemini. Check it out."
People are in denial. They thought just because Apple bought 30 AI companies, Apple will become the number one in AI (or that was their argument). This news must have come as a shock to them.
I don't make up stuff, I just sate facts, unlike you.
Again you don't understand why Google wants to be the default search engine on iOS even if I explained it.
Also you obviously don't understand how Google's ad business works. The primary purpose if to serve ads to iOS users, this way they reach 100% of the ad mobile market. It's very very simple.
No, logic and common sense. You should try it.
The comment I replied to was referring to Google ads? You need to read the thread. Apple has tried ads and failed, but it does seem to be looking at them again.
