Laporan menunjukkan bahwa Apple sedang dalam diskusi awal untuk mengakuisisi Perplexity AI, pemimpin terkemuka yang sedang berkembang di bidang pencarian berbasis AI, yang berpotensi menjadi akuisisi terbesar hingga saat ini. Seperti yang dilaporkan Bloomberg pada 20 Juni, diskusi mengenai kemungkinan transaksi tersebut telah terjadi secara internal di antara eksekutif senior Apple, termasuk kepala M&A Adrian Perica dan kepala layanan Eddy Cue. Namun, Perplexity memberi tahu Reuters bahwa mereka memiliki “tidak ada pengetahuan” tentang negosiasi resmi.


Perplexity is recognized for its real-time, conversational search engine, which serves as an alternative to conventional search models such as Google’s. As Apple embeds AI features into Safari, this acquisition could lessen its dependence on Google and enhance Siri with Perplexity's chatbot-style capabilities.

The deal, rumored to be worth up to $14 billion, would eclipse Apple’s 2014 Beats acquisition. Meanwhile, rivals like Samsung are reportedly exploring Perplexity integration for the Galaxy S26, making this move a strategic play in the AI race.
