Apple x Meta AI Chatbot on iPhone is Not Happening: Report ...
Apple vs. Meta AI Chatbot Integration
Apple has already integrated OpenAI’s ChatGPT into the iPhone with plans for more AI chatbots. However, according to Bloomberg, Apple rejected the idea of including Meta’s AI chatbot on the iPhone, citing concerns over Meta's privacy practices.
Apple is considering future integration with Google’s Gemini AI, building on their existing partnership in the Safari web browser.
Apple's Standpoint
Sources reveal that Apple and Meta had discussions about partnering for an AI chatbot integration, but Apple decided against formal talks due to privacy issues and a preference for ChatGPT over Meta's Llama chatbot. Apple's history of criticizing Meta's technology also played a role in this decision.
Current Developments
Despite recent reports of discussions between Apple and Meta, Apple seems adamant about not partnering with Meta. Instead, Apple is exploring the option of incorporating an AI chatbot from startup Anthropic.
Apple is set to roll out Apple Intelligence in new operating systems for iPhone, iPad, and Mac later this year. However, only devices with an M1 chip or newer, like the iPhone 15 Pro, will support Apple Intelligence due to high RAM demands for on-device AI processing.
