  • The suit alleges Apple’s iPhone integration of OpenAI and App Store ranking practices block rival generative-AI apps, including X and xAI’s Grok, from top visibility.
  • Apple responded that the App Store is designed to be fair and unbiased.
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed the accusations and suggested Musk uses X to favor his own interests.
  • The case arrives as ChatGPT ranks as the most-downloaded free iPhone app in the U.S. and begins an early court phase that could test Apple’s partnership with OpenAI.
