That's not the issue. LLMs are not trained on whatever crap you can scrape from users text messages or emails. That is relatively useless for training.
Wouldn't the issue be Gemini would need access to the users personal information in order to act on it? Yes there are applications where this wouldn't be needed, but I can't help but think that the number one application of ai would be adding to the capabilities of the personal assistant. To me a personal assistant that couldn't draw on the context of my location, calendar, or communications wouldn't be much improvement.
If you believe the memes, Siri is already quite capable of searching Google for you.

How is that a meme? It casually searches Google and summarizes the result when required. Siri runs locally on iOS and needs to use a search engine to lookup information.
Is Apple really failing? $30B net profit per quarter. Who knows what they are researching behind the scenes. They can afford to hire any top AI researchers. Siri is optimized for cost and performance on small devices. Works very well considering that it runs locally on the iPhone hardware.
