Overview

• xAI and X filed an antitrust complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Fort Worth accusing Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to shut out rivals.
• The suit alleges Apple’s integration of ChatGPT into iOS and Siri grants OpenAI privileged access to user queries while Grok was denied similar integration and faced lower App Store visibility and delayed updates.
• Plaintiffs seek several billion dollars in damages and injunctions that would bar the alleged conduct and halt the Apple–OpenAI collaboration.
• Apple has said its App Store is designed to be fair and not to advantage any developer, while OpenAI called Musk’s latest move part of a pattern of harassment.
• The complaint frames market power with disputed figures, asserting Apple holds about 65% of the U.S. smartphone market and OpenAI about 80% of the chatbot market.
