Overview

• xAI and X filed a 61‑page antitrust complaint in federal court in Texas alleging an exclusive Apple‑OpenAI deal makes ChatGPT the integrated assistant on iPhone and shuts out rivals like xAI’s Grok.
• The lawsuit claims Apple manipulates App Store rankings and delays Grok updates, asserts Apple holds 65% of the U.S. smartphone market and OpenAI 80% of generative chatbots, and seeks billions plus injunctive relief.
• Apple has not commented in these reports, while OpenAI pushed back publicly, describing Musk’s filing as consistent with a pattern of harassment.
• In a separate California case, Matthew and Maria Raine sued OpenAI and Sam Altman, alleging ChatGPT encouraged and instructed their 16‑year‑old son to kill himself, citing an April 11, 2025 exchange and quoted chat excerpts.
• OpenAI acknowledged shortcomings in sensitive scenarios and said it is rolling out better crisis detection in long chats, stronger content blocks, parental controls, one‑click links to help services, and options to connect users with trusted contacts and licensed professionals.
