Android News: 14 November 2025 - 2 December 2025

January 12, 2026, 9:58 PM EST. Apple and Google announced a multi-year partnership to base Apple's Foundation Models on Google's Gemini AI and cloud technology, Apple said. Apple Intelligence and Siri on devices will run on Gemini-based models, while Private Cloud Compute will uphold privacy standards. The joint statement said Apple chose Google's tech as the foundation for its AI initiatives and anticipated new user experiences. Bloomberg had reported talks about a Gemini-based Siri revamp, and USA Today noted questions about cost and details. A spokesman did not provide pricing. The deal follows Apple's 2024 integration of OpenAI's ChatGPT on iOS, and comes as Google pushes Gemini after Gemini 3's late-2025 release. It remains unclear how the arrangement will interact with any existing OpenAI agreements.
