Overview
- U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman in Fort Worth denied Apple and OpenAI’s motions to dismiss, allowing the lawsuit to continue.
- The order states that disputes are better addressed on summary judgment and explicitly cautions that it is not a ruling on the merits.
- X Corp. and xAI allege Apple’s Siri/Apple Intelligence integration makes ChatGPT the de facto option and that App Store curation privileges ChatGPT over rivals like Grok.
- Apple and OpenAI argue there is no exclusive deal, that other chatbots remain available via apps and browsers, and that selecting an initial partner is not unlawful.
- Filed in August 2025, the suit now advances to evidence gathering, with the plaintiffs seeking an injunction and recovery of billions in damages.
