Apple Partners with Google's Gemini AI to Enhance Siri and Apple Intelligence Features

Apple and Google have announced a multi-year partnership integrating Google's Gemini AI models into Apple's systems to enhance Siri and other "Apple Intelligence" features. This collaboration aims to improve Siri's contextual understanding and personalization, with the revamped assistant expected later this year. Apple emphasized that user privacy will be maintained through on-device processing and its Private Cloud Compute infrastructure. The deal, reportedly valued around $1 billion annually, has drawn criticism from Elon Musk, who called it an "unreasonable concentration of power" for Google.
