So while the letter of your claim is technically true, it's also very misleading.
If nothing else, this was likely driven by Google being the most stable of the AI labs. Gemini is objectively a good model (whether it's #1 or #5 in ranking aside) so Apple can confidently deliver a good (enough) product. Also for Apple, they know their provider has ridiculously deep pockets, a good understanding and infrastructure in place for large enterprises, and a fairly diversified revenue stream. Going with An…
Nothing about OpenAI is clean. Their complete org is controlled by Altmann, who was able to rehire himself after he was fired. Anthropic doesn't have a single data centre, they rent from AWS/Microsoft/Google.

> Definitely. At at this point, Apple just needs to get anything out the door They don't though, Android is clearly ahead in AI integration (even Samsung are running TV ads mocking iPhones AI capability) yet still iPhones sales are breaking records - the majority of their phone buyers still prefer an iPhone over an AI capable other phone. They can take their time to develop AI integration that others can't deploy - '…
The reality is that almost nobody actually wants LLMs in their phones. They're not good enough for that usecase, currently - so almost all interactions make the UX worse, currently. Might change in the future, I'm just taking about today in January 2026

Apple is always behind on industry trends, but when they adopt them eventually, they become mainstream and cool. This is what will happen with the folding phones this year, if rumors are true.

This clarifies nothing?
Direct quote from their joint statement: "Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year." Source: https://blog.google/company-news/inside-google/company-annou...

USB-C I guess?
Always need to attach an adapter to my Anker chargers and powerbanks.

I’m almost certain even something as ad-hoc as Opus 4.5 with access to iOS native APIs at the level of Siri exposed via MCP would run circles around Siri in January 2026.
