Overview

  • X and xAI filed a federal antitrust complaint on August 25 in Texas alleging Apple and OpenAI formed an illegal alliance to restrain competition in smartphone generative AI.
  • The suit claims Apple agreed to embed ChatGPT across iPhone, iPad and Mac features while disadvantaging competitors, citing blocked visibility for Grok through ranking manipulation and delayed updates.
  • Plaintiffs assert that the arrangement grants ChatGPT exclusive access to billions of user queries from hundreds of millions of Apple devices, characterizing the deal as entrenching dominance.
  • The filing presents market-share claims that Apple holds about 65% of U.S. smartphones and that OpenAI controls at least 80% of generative assistants via ChatGPT, noting these figures as assertions in the complaint.
  • OpenAI called the case consistent with harassment by Elon Musk, and Apple defended its App Store as fair and guided by objective discovery, with the companies’ June 2024 partnership to integrate ChatGPT into Siri as the backdrop.
