Fret not, for if Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is to be believed — and he has a superb track record on all things Apple — the company could announce a deal with Google for the Gemini chatbot.
According to Gurman, Apple could announce "at least" one AI chatbot deal later this year — Google Gemini.
In his newsletter, Power On, Gurman says Apple is also interested in Anthropic and doesn't rule out a deal on that front.

Bummed out that Apple announced a collaboration with only ChatGPT at the recent Worldwide Developers Conference? Fret not, for if Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is to be believed — and he has a superb track record on all things Apple — the company could announce a deal with Google for the Gemini chatbot.
According to Gurman, Apple could announce "at least" one AI chatbot deal later this year — Google Gemini. In his newsletter, Power On, Gurman says Apple is also interested in Anthropic and doesn't rule out a deal on that front.
Apple is not interested in Meta
There were recent reports that Apple is in talks with Meta, with rolled out Meta AI across its platforms last week. Gurman says that is not true — the two companies had one conversation in March on "Meta's behest" and that "Apple has zero interest in embedding Meta's service" because it believes Google, OpenAI and Anthropic offer "superior services.”
The Apple-OpenAI collaboration
Apple is introducing ChatGPT integration into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, enabling users to seamlessly use its expertise, image recognition, and document understanding within the ecosystem.
Siri can leverage ChatGPT's knowledge with user approval (an important caveat), providing direct answers. ChatGPT will be integrated into Apple's writing tools for content creation, offering image generation capabilities through Compose.
Privacy measures include IP address protection and non-storage of requests by OpenAI.
The ChatGPT feature, powered by GPT-4o, will be available later this year across Apple platforms, accessible for free with the option for subscribers to unlock additional features.
