01:52 PM EDT, 04/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) chief executive Sundar Pichai spoke to Apple's ( AAPL ) Tim Cook on the possibility of including Google's ( GOOG ) Gemini AI technology on new phones, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing trial testimony by Pichai.

Speaking in Google's ( GOOG ) defense at an antitrust trial in Washington, Pichai said the CEOs talked about the possibility last year and that he expected to reach a potential deal by the middle of 2025.

The deal would reportedly see Google's ( GOOG ) Gemini AI included within Apple Intelligence, Apple's ( AAPL ) own set of AI features, according to Reuters.

Pichai testified in Alphabet GOOGL unit's defense as the US Department of Justice has proposed ending its deals with Apple ( AAPL ), Samsung, AT&T and Verizon to be the default search engine on new mobile devices.

Google ( GOOG ) and Apple ( AAPL ) did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
