It’s going be pretty hard to dethrone Google when even Apple is going to Google for AI with another huge billion $ contract.
In fairness, that is for their model, not their brand. In this industry, the mind share and buy in OpenAI has is still second to none, even when Gemini 2.5 Pro served the vast majority of users far better than the OpenAI models, the latter MAU trounced all competitors.
We do not know for certain as of yet, but I’d be very surprised if Apple felt the need to loudly communicate to their user base that the upcoming Siri improvements aren’t Apple Intelligence. They won’t lie of course, but Googles brand in the space isn’t nearly as strong with the layperson, whereas they more than happily shouted their use of GPT from the rooftops initially.
This year.
Apple is in the business of contracting out new-hotness until their polish is done.
Then they put their name on the thing, pretend it’s new technology – and depending on the named feature, sometimes it is!
