Overview
- Apple confirmed that stable iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 will swap out GPT-4o for OpenAI’s GPT-5 in Apple Intelligence next month.
- GPT-5 support has not appeared in the current public or developer iOS 26 betas, indicating users may first see it in a later beta or only upon the official release.
- Users can disable Apple Intelligence’s access to OpenAI or link their own OpenAI accounts to apply personal subscription benefits.
- Apple says it obscures IP addresses and prevents OpenAI from storing Apple Intelligence requests when routing queries to ChatGPT.
- Early GPT-5 users have reported a more robotic tone and occasional errors, prompting OpenAI to adjust model availability for some subscribers.
