Apple refused to integrate Meta's AI chatbot into the iPhone.

Apple wants to integrate new AI chatbot models into its new products after partnering with OpenAI and Alphabet, but Meta is not among them.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has rejected Meta's offer to integrate its AI chatbot into the iPhone product line. The two companies had a brief discussion about a potential collaboration in March, but these talks did not progress, and Apple has no plans to integrate Meta's large language model (LLM) into iOS.

Apple does not want to use Meta's AI chatbot for the iPhone.

These preliminary talks occurred around the time Apple began exploring agreements to use OpenAI's ChatGPT and Alphabet's Gemini in its products. Earlier this month, the iPhone maker announced a partnership with OpenAI and plans to offer Gemini in the future.

According to sources, Apple hasn't moved into formal discussions with Meta partly because it feels that Facebook's parent company's security practices aren't rigorous enough. Apple has criticized Meta's technology for years, so bringing Llama to the iPhone product line would go against this.

Furthermore, Apple also views the ChatGPT chatbot as a more premium option. Meanwhile, Google – the leading search partner on the Safari browser – will base its future agreement with Gemini on their existing relationship.

Apple is also continuing negotiations with the startup Anthropic to add another chatbot, according to Bloomberg. Apple Intelligence will also be rolled out later this year as part of the iOS 18 operating system.

Media reports indicate that Apple did not pay to bring OpenAI's ChatGPT to the iPhone, but they will allow users to pay for a subscription directly in the iOS 18 update, generating revenue for the software manufacturer. At the same time, the iPhone manufacturer also receives a commission from the App Store.

At WWDC 2024, Apple's head of software engineering, Craig Federighi, stated that Apple wants to offer users a choice between different AI models, with plans to establish contracts with multiple vendors.
