Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) faces frequent criticism for lagging in artificial intelligence innovation compared to aggressive moves by Microsoft, Google, and Meta.<\/p>\n

However, 2026 will finally mark the giant\u2019s entry into an \u201cAI revolution\u201d, argues Wedbush\u2019s senior analyst, Dan Ives.<\/p>\n

Ives maintained his \u201coutperform\u201d rating on AAPL shares this week, raising his price target to $350, implying a 27% upside from current levels.<\/p>\n

According to him, Apple\u2019s long-awaited artificial intelligence strategy, coupled with strong iPhone 17 sales<\/a>, could reshape investor sentiment and unlock billions in new value.<\/p>\n

What Apple\u2019s AI revolution may look like<\/h2>\n

In his latest research note, Dan Ives said Apple\u2019s partnership with Google Gemini \u2013 expected to be formally announced early next year \u2013 will be a \u201cgame-changer\u201d that propels the company into the AI spotlight.<\/p>\n

With an installed base of 2.4 billion iOS devices and 1.5 billion iPhones, Apple Inc. has the largest consumer ecosystem in the world.<\/p>\n

Embedding Gemini into that ecosystem could instantly give it a powerful AI presence, from Siri upgrades to productivity tools and personalized services.<\/p>\n

\u201c2026 is going to finally be the year that AAPL enters the AI Revolution,\u201d Ives wrote, adding that AI monetization could add up to $100 per share to the giant\u2019s story over the coming years.<\/p>\n

For AAPL shares, this partnership wouldn\u2019t just close the perception gap with rivals but also create recurring revenue streams tied directly to AI usage across its devices.<\/p>\n

What else could Apple do in AI next year?<\/h2>\n

Beyond the Gemini partnership, speculation is growing about other major AI initiatives Apple could unveil in 2026.<\/p>\n

Industry chatter suggests Apple could roll out a revamped Siri powered by generative AI, making it more conversational and capable of handling complex tasks.<\/p>\n

Rumours also point to AI\u2011driven features in iOS 20 \u2013 such as predictive app suggestions, smarter photo editing, and real\u2011time language translation.<\/p>\n

Some analysts whisper about the multinational experimenting with on\u2011device AI chips as well to reduce reliance on cloud computing, a move that would emphasize privacy and efficiency.<\/p>\n

While none of these have been confirmed, the whispers highlight growing expectations that AAPL will finally shed its \u201cinvisible AI strategy\u201d label.<\/p>\n

If even half of these speculations materialize, Apple stock could quickly transform from laggard to leader in consumer AI.<\/p>\n

Tim Cook to remain with Apple through 2027<\/h2>\n

Dan Ives also emphasized that Apple\u2019s leadership stability will be critical during this transition.<\/p>\n

He expects Tim Cook to remain CEO<\/a> through at least the end of 2027, ensuring continuity as Apple navigates its AI strategy.<\/p>\n

Cook\u2019s steady hand has guided the Nasdaq-listed firm through multiple technology shifts \u2013 from the iPhone\u2019s dominance to the rise of wearables and services.<\/p>\n

Now, his role will be to oversee the integration of artificial intelligence into the AAPL ecosystem while maintaining the company\u2019s hallmark focus on user privacy and seamless design.<\/p>\n

For investors, Cook\u2019s extended tenure signals that Apple won\u2019t rush into AI recklessly \u2013 but will execute with discipline. <\/p>\n

As Ives put it, Apple is finally ready to accelerate its AI efforts, and Cook\u2019s leadership will be central to making that revolution a reality.<\/p>\n
