Gemini is coming to Apple Intelligence in iOS 19 – is that good news or bad news?

iOS 18.1 Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro all-new Siri design

With about a month to go until WWDC 2025, we have a pretty good idea of what Apple will announce at the show. This year's developer event won’t just focus on AI. Instead, Apple will give iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 major redesigns, making its operating systems look and behave more alike than ever before.

But Apple Intelligence will still be a major topic during the event. For starters, Apple can't ignore the elephant in the room. The smart Siri experience that Apple unveiled at WWDC 2024 turned out to be vaporware.

Apple can’t deliver those Siri features to iPhone users yet, and it might not be ready until next year. Apple will have to explain itself and, hopefully, apologize for misleading users, especially iPhone 16 buyers who purchased one of the four 2024 models for the exclusive AI features.

Apple will also want to add new first-party AI tools to its Apple Intelligence suite. Despite the Siri letdown, I’m still confident Apple can catch up and deliver that advanced AI assistant experience in the near future.

Then there's the matter of integrating other third-party AI tools into Apple Intelligence, following the inclusion of ChatGPT. We already expect Gemini to join Apple Intelligence, and WWDC 2025 would be the perfect stage for that announcement. Either way, it's only a matter of time before Gemini is part of Apple Intelligence. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said as much under oath.

Of course, it remains to be seen if that will be good news or bad news. On the surface, more choices seem like a good thing. But the more Apple relies on third parties for AI, the further it seems like we're getting from Apple's own advanced AI features, which is what we're all waiting for.
