Exposed: Apple sells privacy, but Gemini AI-powered Siri prefers Google Cloud
Apple told you for years that what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone, yet today that promise bends as Siri will begin calling Gemini to think for answers, and Google just confirmed its Cloud partnership with Apple.
Mark Gurman confirms Apple is paying Google, probably Cloud too, roughly 1 billion dollars a year so Gemini can power Siri. That is not a side project; that is rent, paid to a company Apple loves to frame as the opposite of its values.
You might think this is just a smart business move by Apple. iPhone fans are told Apple tried to build its own models, massive ones, roughly 150 billion parameters strong, and they still came up short when reality arrived.
Google showed up with a 1.2 trillion parameter machine, and the doors opened. We have been covering Siri long enough to remember the glow-up promise. Twenty months have passed since Apple first teased a smarter assistant.
Now the upgrade arrives, not from Apple alone, but Google infrastructure humming in the background. This is not about whether Gemini is good; it is about honesty.
If Apple’s future intelligence depends on rented brains, then the privacy story will keep shrinking, quietly, until it fits whatever deal comes next.
As reported by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg:
Google says Apple will be using Google Cloud as part of the Gemini deal. This doesn’t square at all with Apple’s claims about using its own servers/Private Cloud Compute. Apple is using Google Cloud for the chatbot Siri in the fall.
