Apple Opts for ChatGPT Despite Internal Pushback - Former Siri head John Giannandrea advocated for Google's Gemini over ChatGPT for Siri integration, citing concerns about data protection and longevity. Despite his push, Apple unveiled ChatGPT integration in December 2025 following its WWDC announcement, with Siri now using ChatGPT when unable to answer a query.
Apple plans to incorporate other chatbots, including Gemini, and is exploring a partnership with Perplexity for potential integration into Siri and its Safari browser, according to Bloomberg.
