Apple has reportedly rejected the overtures by Meta Platforms to integrate the social networking company's AI chatbot into the iPhone months ago, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing top sources. The report stated that the businesses only had a few quick talks in March and are not currently in talks for an AI partnership involving Meta's Llama chatbot.

According to Bloomberg News, Apple was not actively planning to integrate Llama into iPhones and talks about a possible partnership did not proceed to a formal stage because it did not think Instagram owner Meta's privacy policies were strict enough.

According to the report, the initial discussions happened around the same time Apple began negotiating licences to use Alphabet's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT in its products.

At its annual developer conference earlier in June, Apple revealed its much-anticipated AI strategy, integrating ChatGPT, an OpenAI chatbot, into its devices and introducing new "Apple Intelligence" technology throughout its suite of apps, which includes Siri, the virtual assistant.
