Apple is really rotten with this campaign. They admit that their sales arey declining and slow. I use iPhone 12. I don’t see any reasons why I should upgrade to 15. and aren’t they lunching iPhone 16 this year? iOS 18 with their AI gimmicks should be only valid for iPhone 16, shouldn’t they? 

The most interesting point would be who contacted who at first? 
The more advanced AI is, the less relevant the web search service will be. Therefore, I would not be surprised if Google contacted Apple at first.

For short term, it would be a win win situation for Google and Apple if Google pays a specific annual fee to Apple as Google already does for their Chrome on iOS.

However, AI is an uncertain technology without clear pictures how AI will shape the future.

But following questions to be answered:
1. How would this corporation affect the privacy? (AI with "open" source and privacy are usually a contradiction). 
2. What additional benefits (not money or monetized benefits) could Apple get in those corporations?

I think that Apple wants to run their own in-house SLLMs on device (Small LLMs).
This news is all about running cloud-based AI. 

Gemini would make more sense than OpenAI or Claude because Apple has already used Google´s cloud service. 

But honestly.... People kept saying Apple has some weapons as they purchased more AI enterprises than other tech enterprises. 
Apple lags behind on AI based on LLMs. 

Car project cancellation, $490 million loss, and this indictation that Apple has managed their AI resource poorly.. 

Apple is really behind on AI and Apple should feel uncomfrtable with the current situation.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has been in negotiations with Google (Gemini) and OpenAI (ChatGPT). 

If this should be true, then do I understand correctly that Apple would prefer Gemini or ChatGPT over their own AI-trained model?

Does Apple plan to integrate Gemini/ChatGPT with Siri? 

If these negotiations should be true, it would indicate that Apple is really far behind on AI. 

Of course, it depends on who contacted who at first like Google did with their Chrome on iOS. 

I really hope that it is not what Tim Cook calls "breakthrough". 
I do hope that this App Store ad is not a part of their AI events... 

Apple has more to show at WWDC, but what I have seen based on rumors up to now, they are "nothing burgers" or at least, not breakthrough. 

S&P 500 hits all time high.
Nasdaq hits all time high..


and AAPL.... -%. 
EU 
DOJ antitrust
China
No love for AVP... 

What else do we get additionally? Any other bad news?
