Google executive Josh Woodward demonstrated the company's upcoming Gemini Spark AI assistant on an iPhone 17 Pro instead of a Pixel device. The demo took place during a recent event, highlighting that Google's own executives do not always use the company's hardware.
Gemini Spark integrates with Workspace apps.
Gemini Spark is powered by the Gemini 3.5 AI model. It integrates with Google Workspace apps including Gmail, Docs, and Slides. The assistant is designed to help users with tasks across these productivity tools.
Gemini Spark will be available to testers shortly. It will then roll out to Google AI Ultra users in the US next week. Google has not confirmed a wider release timeline or pricing details.
The choice of an iPhone for the demo has drawn attention. It suggests that even within Google, preferences for hardware may not always align with the company's own Pixel lineup. The incident underscores the competitive landscape of AI assistants and mobile ecosystems.
