• Apple reportedly rejected Metas overtures to integrate its Llama model into iOS 18 months ago.
• The two companies havent been on good terms in recent years, and Apple disapproves of Metas privacy practices.
• Beyond ChatGPT, iOS 18 users may be able to pick between Google Gemini and Anthropic in the future.

When Apple announced iOS 18s ChatGPT integration, it mentioned its plan to get other AI providers on board. While OpenAIs offering may be the sole option when iOS 18 launches this fall, the Cupertino firm is discussing potential partnerships with other companies. However, these discussions reportedly exclude Meta, and Apple has no plans to integrate the companys Llama model into iOS 18.

According to a Bloomberg report, Apple rejected Metas overtures to integrate its Llama model into iOS 18 months ago. The report states that the two companies had brief talks back in March, but these discussions didnt reach a formal stage. Apple decided not to move forward with the matter, as it doesnt approve of Metas privacy practices.
