Apple Intelligence not on par with ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini: Mark Gurman

Apple is releasing its new artificial intelligence (AI) features, called Apple Intelligence, with the launch of the iPhone 16 series and iPad mini. However, reports suggest that Apple's AI capabilities may be lagging behind competitors such as OpenAI and Google. Sources claim that Apple's AI features are two years behind in terms of quality and functionality, with Siri being 25% less accurate than rivals. This could impact sales if users find the AI tools lacking compared to alternatives. Nonetheless, Apple plans to roll out AI features across its product range.

Apple prioritises ChatGPT as Gemini AI model integration faces delays: Report

Google's AI model, Gemini, will not be integrated with iPhones for at least another year. Apple appears to be prioritizing its partnership with OpenAI's ChatGPT instead. The delay in incorporating Gemini into Apple's AI ecosystem could be intentional, allowing OpenAI an exclusive operational window. Gemini's integration with iOS is not expected until 2025. Apple's update, iOS 18.2, will bring Apple Intelligence to compatible iPhones, but its initial release will exclude Europe and China. The reasons for Apple's focus on ChatGPT remain unclear, with questions about contractual obligations or strategic decisions.
