Rumor has it that iOS 18 will be a big leap forward for AI on the iPhone, and there are countless rumors about what sort of generative AI features Apple may have planned. Unfortunately, it sounds like we may not see an Apple-made chatbot debut later this year.
This news comes from Apple sleuth Mark Gurman, who claimed Apple will not be adding its own chatbot to iOS 18. However, this doesn’t mean there won’t be some kind of chatbot on the software — just that it’ll be licensed from someone else. Gurman claims Apple has been in talks with the likes of Google, OpenAI and Baidu for this very purpose.
