Bloomberg reports that Apple has returned to negotiations with OpenAI to incorporate artificial intelligence models into iOS 18, following a previous round of talks earlier this year that fell through.
Rumors had previously suggested that Apple was also in discussions with both OpenAI and Google regarding the purchase of licensing rights for AI models. While talks with Google are still ongoing, Apple has yet to decide on a partner and it’s possible they may choose both.
Earlier reports also indicated that iOS 18 will emphasize AI features, with Apple focusing on on-device AI processing to maintain user privacy. We may expect further clarity on this at the WWDC event in mid-June.
TLDR: Apple reopens negotiations with OpenAI for AI models in iOS 18, considering both OpenAI and Google as potential partners. iOS 18 expected to highlight AI features with on-device processing for user privacy.
