Musk reposted the tweet and added his short comment saying, “I’m down.” His reaction was enough to start new speculation about the future of AI on the iPhone.

There has been no official statement from Apple or xAI about any partnership plans. Experts say it is too early to expect direct cooperation, but Musk’s public interest could encourage new conversations. For now, the idea of an iPhone running Grok remains only a possibility.

Why some users prefer Grok over Siri

Siri has been Apple’s primary digital assistant for more than a decade, but many users feel its capabilities have not kept up with the rapid rise of modern AI tools. Meanwhile, Grok has gained attention for its fast responses and its ability to process large amounts of information. Musk’s simple message has brought both companies into the same discussion and raised hopes among fans that a new partnership could bring stronger AI support on Apple devices.
