The wealth manager said a partnership could include using Gemini instead of Apple Intelligence and having Waymo self-driving vehicles connected to the Apple ecosystem.\n\"Apple has not failed in software. Software is pretty good. It's just they haven't innovated in AI or invested in it.\"\nGerber said Google has failed in hardware outside of Waymo and partnering with Apple could strengthen this area.\n\"It's a perfect matchup if they combine their forces to build, just killer software and hardware products.\"\nGlasses seem like a natural tech advancement, Gerber said, with almost everyone wearing glasses or sunglasses at some point.\n\"The AI product killer is having glasses that you don't need to walk around looking at a phone anymore.\"\nGerber said if Apple releases smart glasses in the next 12 months, it could be \"a very exciting product.\"\nThe second product Gerber hopes Ternus focuses on at Apple is a health tracker, like an Apple Watch without a face.\n\"They should have that out by tomorrow because they're losing share big time right now to Whoop.\"\nGerber said Apple is at the forefront of health care, but \"yet they're not dominating.\" He would love to see Apple focus on watches and glasses, especially the ability to pair without needing a phone.\nPhoto Courtesy: Ross Gerber\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2629024061","isCrawlerRequest":true}
