  • The proposed integration would allow Siri to use Gemini for complex queries, complementing the existing ChatGPT functionality introduced with iOS 18.
  • Code references to Google as a third-party AI model in iOS 18.4 beta have further fueled speculation about the upcoming integration.
  • Apple is expected to announce iOS 19 at WWDC in June 2025, which could include support for Gemini if a deal is finalized in time.
