Google is aiming to reach an agreement with Apple to incorporate its Gemini AI technology into new iPhones by mid-2025, as announced by Google CEO Sundar Pichai during an antitrust trial.
The proposed deal could enhance Apple's AI capabilities, including advanced image creation and text generation, amid supply chain disruptions and trade tensions faced by Apple.
Concerns have been raised about data privacy and market competition with this potential deal, given Google's history of securing default search status on Apple devices through multi-billion dollar agreements.
Apple has been exploring alternatives like India for production as it reshuffles management and unveils new websites, with a focus on advanced robotics for potential iPhone manufacturing in the U.S.
