I doubt Google and Apple have the relationship of trust such that they could actually sell Apple an API that would be used to power a core iOS service.

The article rightfully points out that Apple had Google Maps for several years on the device before launching their own maps service. I suspect that it will be treated more like search and not have the deep integrations with core API’s that their own eventual Ai offering will have. And of course when they do launch their own AI offering integration with the core API’s will probably be one of the big differentiators

That was before Steve declared war on Android. Not sure it matters anymore, though.

I presume this is about a contract around something deeper than simply having another app, otherwise they could just build the app - no contract involved.

I think that Google & Apple's trust relationship has broken down post-Google Maps.

If the models are running on-device, once the model files are delivered then it really doesn't matter what Google would do.
