I thought it would've made a lot of sense for Apple to be on this list as well.

Apple would be rather unaffected since they already signed a deal with Google/Gemini.

They also run Chinese models for their china-based iPhones. So they would benefit from models being open.

In time, what do you think is gonna happen with the Google Gemini models, I predict that in time Apple will just dump it when they’re ready… No different than dumping Intel. In similar Qualcomm is probably coming up in the near future 2027-2028.
