Apple CEO Tim Cook recently revealed in an interview with CNBC that the company plans to integrate more third-party artificial intelligence tools into its operating system. He said, "Our goal is to integrate with more partners over time." Currently, Apple has integrated ChatGPT into Siri, and there are ongoing rumors about a potential collaboration with Google's Gemini. Additionally, Apple's potential partnerships with Anthropic and Perplexity have also drawn attention.

Cook mentioned that Apple is planning to release an upgraded version of Siri next year. He stated during the earnings call, "We are making good progress with Siri." He also noted that Apple would still consider acquiring other companies if it helps advance the company's roadmap.

This news comes as Apple released its fourth-quarter financial results, which showed that the company's revenue reached $102.5 billion over the past few months, an 8% increase from last year. Despite the launch of the iPhone 17 series last month, Apple's plans in the AI field are not yet fully realized, and AI is expected to bring significant improvements to Siri on its devices.

A recent report by Bloomberg suggests that Apple may collaborate with Google to develop an AI search tool for Siri. Last year, Google CEO Sundar Pichai also confirmed that Google is developing Gemini support for the iPhone.

Apple's iPhone revenue reached $49.03 billion, and sales of the iPhone 17 series accounted for a relatively small portion of the overall revenue. The new series includes the thinnest iPhone Air ever produced by Apple, as well as upgraded versions of the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro. This year, Apple introduced some features previously exclusive to Pro-level iPhones into entry-level devices, such as always-on displays with ProMotion support.

In addition, Apple's Mac revenue reached $8.72 billion, and iPad revenue was $6.95 billion. The Apple Services division, including subscription revenues from Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Fitness Plus, and Apple Arcade, grew to $28.8 billion. Apple also launched upgraded versions of the iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro headset, each featuring M5 specifications. Rumors suggest that Apple may release a more affordable iPhone 17e next year.
