ChatGPT on iPhone: Apple & OpenAI Reach Agreement, According to Report

According to reports, Apple and OpenAI have reached an agreement to integrate AI capabilities into iPhones through ChatGPT.

According to Bloomberg, Apple was in talks with Google and OpenAI in March to incorporate their AI capabilities into iPhones. In April, the publication reported that OpenAI was the leading candidate in these discussions. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reveals that Apple is close to finalizing a deal with OpenAI to integrate their chatbot, GPT, into iPhones.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple Inc. is nearing an agreement with OpenAI to incorporate the startup’s technology into the iPhone. This is part of their larger effort to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities into their devices.

It appears that Apple and OpenAI are currently in the process of solidifying the details of a partnership to incorporate ChatGPT capabilities into Apple’s iOS 18. This announcement is expected to take place at WWDC 2024. According to Gurman, discussions between Apple and Google have not yet resulted in a deal, but they are still ongoing.

According to Gurman, Apple’s partnership with OpenAI will allow them to introduce a highly sought-after chatbot as part of a series of new AI capabilities that will be revealed alongside iOS 18.

Despite being a late entrant into the AI market, Apple is now determined to take the lead. Last week, the Cupertino-based company unveiled its latest iPad Pro, emphasizing its impressive capabilities for artificial intelligence. Additionally, Apple declared the M3 MacBook Air as the “World’s Best Consumer Laptop for AI.”

Given that Apple has already established the iPad and MacBook Air as AI powerhouses, it is highly probable that the next focus will be on iPhones. Although the official announcement and release of the new iPhones are not expected until September, Apple may kickstart the process at the WWDC conference in June. It is anticipated that the company will introduce iOS 18, which will be equipped with various AI capabilities.

According to reports, Siri is receiving a significant AI enhancement, and there may also be some clever AI integrations for apps such as Apple Music and Pages.
