Apple acknowledges that its AI lags behind ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, with no immediate plan to close the gap. The company is advancing Siri’s expansion in iOS 18 to support third-party AI apps, offering a 30% cut from App Store sales. This move aligns with a broader business strategy centered on hardware and ecosystem profits. Traders are evaluating the shift for potential support and resistance levels, as the risk-to-reward ratio for AI-driven app investments remains a key consideration. Apple has also integrated Gemini to enhance Siri’s AI capabilities.
ME AI update, July 23 (UTC+8): Apple acknowledged that its AI technology lags behind competitors such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, with no prospect of catching up in the short term. Apple has chosen to abandon direct competition and instead focus on generating revenue through hardware and its ecosystem. The core of its new strategy is the expanded Siri functionality launching with iOS 18, allowing users to run third-party AI chat tools within Siri, alongside a dedicated section on the App Store where Apple can earn ongoing revenue via its 30% commission model from third-party AI providers. Apple is also integrating Gemini technology to enhance Siri and other AI features. Additionally, Apple’s 50th anniversary celebration will conclude this week at Apple Park, with employees hinting that the performance guest is likely Paul McCartney. Later that same evening, DeepSeek’s service experienced another major outage, with both its website and app frequently displaying “server busy” messages. The issue surged to the top of Weibo’s trending topics, and as of this report, the service has not yet fully recovered. Unitree Robotics’ first Asia flagship experience center will open at the end of May at Jiuguang Department Store in Shanghai, spanning over 100 square meters.

Unitree’s founder, Wang Xingxing, predicts that the “GPT moment” for embodied AI is still two to three years away. The entire founding team of xAI has now departed, with the last two remaining co-founders, Manuel Kroiss and Ross Nordeen, leaving the company one after another. This means none of the original 11 co-founders who launched xAI alongside Musk remain.
