Apple, Google and AI

Forget Apple Intelligence, it seems the iPhone is getting Google’s new AI tech
It looks like the iPhone is getting its own Google Gemini app, offering another way to engage the power of AI outside of Apple Intelligence.
Google wants Gemini to be the default AI on your iPhone, not Apple Intelligence
Unlike Apple, which wants its AI to live on your device – one of the reasons its hardware requirements are so hefty – Gemini Live uses the cloud. That means it could potentially come to more iPhones than Apple's own AI. It was initially only available for Pixel 9 owners and required a subscription, but it's now free and available to all.
I’m a die-hard Apple fan, but even I’ll admit that the Google Pixel 9 Pro is the best-looking phone of the year
Back in 2021, I penned an op-ed on why I’m comfortable being trapped in Apple’s ecosystem, and although I’ve tested (and loved using) many of the best Android phones since then, the comparatively boring iPhone still calls to me each year like a titanium safety blanket in a world of complex software and obnoxiously large camera bumps.
I've Been Using Apple Intelligence for Weeks, and One Feature Stands Out
Apple Intelligence finally arrived last month as part of the iPhone's iOS 18.1 update, introducing a wave of new features such as the ability to rewrite text, create photo montages based on a prompt, remove objects from photos and type to Siri. Apple's virtual helper is also better at understanding you even when you stumble over your words.
Apple Intelligence should make phone calls on the iPhone a better experience — and the Google Pixel shows how
When it comes to future Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone, I hope Apple doesn't forget about the phone.
