Overview

  • Apple’s September software releases, including iOS 26, will let IT administrators enable or block any external AI provider rather than only OpenAI.
  • Enterprises will be able to configure an enterprise version of ChatGPT and decide whether employee requests may be sent to ChatGPT’s cloud even without an OpenAI enterprise contract.
  • Businesses can choose where AI requests are processed, with options spanning on-device, Apple’s cloud, or an approved external provider’s cloud.
  • Apple is also adding an Apple Business Manager API, new device‑management migration tools, and Return to Service enhancements that preserve installed apps and extend support to Vision Pro.
  • Apple has not announced additional enterprise AI partnerships beyond its OpenAI integration, though the modular design could accommodate providers like Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft.
