OpenAI Struggles as Apple Opens AI to Rivals

Bloomberg reports OpenAI’s hoped-for deep iOS integration of ChatGPT is unlikely as Apple moves to open its Apple Intelligence to other AI models, signaling a shift away from exclusivity. Apple reportedly doubted OpenAI’s privacy protections and resisted OpenAI’s plan for a proprietary device, leading to stalled negotiations. With Apple embracing rivals like Google and Anthropic, OpenAI’s visibility and subscription potential in the iOS ecosystem could shrink, and there may be symbolic legal steps rather than a full-blown lawsuit.
