Are you excited about this partnership?

Apple and Google have entered a multi-year partnership.

According to an Inquirer report, this deal will power Apple's next-generation artificial intelligence features with Google's Gemini technology. This partnership also covers the iPhone company's Siri assistant.

Their joint statement said that Apple had selected Google's AI technology after a “careful evaluation” determined that it provided “the most capable foundation” for the iPhone-maker’s AI ambitions.

However, Elon Musk, who owns his own AI company xAI, called this deal anti-competitive, calling it "an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome."

Apple reportedly had also considered partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity.
