Apple Adopts Gemini To Power Siri
Apple has reportedly struck a multi-year collaboration with Google to use Gemini models and plans iOS 27 Extensions, according to company statements and reporting on March 30, 2026. The deal reportedly gives Apple "complete access" to Gemini for distillation, enabling smaller on-device foundation models and editable outputs across apps. If implemented, these changes could make iPhone the leading consumer AI platform and open the App Store to third-party AI agents.
