Apple will pay Google roughly $5 billion over the next several years to power Siri with Gemini. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported yesterday that the new assistant, codenamed "Campos," will replace Siri entirely in iOS 27 this fall. Apple gets competitive AI. Google gets deeper integration across 2 billion active Apple devices. Continue Reading →
