Overview
- New court filings released Sept. 23–24 show OpenAI told the court the ChatGPT extension for Apple Intelligence drew minimal user interest and “dramatically underperformed.”
- OpenAI says the feature required a multi-step opt-in and was not enabled by default, which it contends created friction that kept people from using ChatGPT through Siri.
- The company also says Siri interactions did not feed training data back to OpenAI, limiting product improvement and reducing any competitive edge from the tie-up.
- OpenAI presented expert analysis from Dr. Catherine Tucker and called the integration’s impact on competitors “indisputably de minimis,” and it has asked Judge Mark Pittman to rule before the January trial.
- With Apple removed from some counts and the trial set for January, the filings shift the case toward disputed factual proof about implementation and usage and could affect how courts evaluate product performance in tech antitrust suits.
