Apple is preparing its first batch of AI features for iOS users next Monday. In addition to only being available on the iPhone 16 and 15 Pro, Apple Intelligence is struggling to compete with rival platforms such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Until Apple starts offering more powerful generative AI capabilities on its devices, it could take Apple over two more years to catch up.
Reports show ChatGPT can answer 30% more questions and be 25% more accurate than Siri. Apple employees believe industry leaders like OpenAI and Google are over two years ahead in AI technology.
While Apple will launch some AI tools next week, key features won’t come until months from now. Rivals already offer exciting AI options like contextual assistants and generative chatbots.
Even with a slower start, Apple’s massive user base gives it an edge for delivering new AI to most devices quickly once ready. But Android platforms currently lead with more useful AI integrations thanks to competition driving innovation.
Can Apple Intelligence close the gap within two years? Only time will tell if its AI game plan puts the company at the top. For now, Android wins for superior artificial intelligence abilities.
