Overview

  • CEO Aravind Srinivas posted on X that the Comet listing on the App Store is fake spam and not from Perplexity.
  • He clarified that Perplexity has not released an iOS version and that users will be notified directly when pre‑registration and downloads open.
  • Current App Store search results include lookalike listings such as “Comet – Ai Agent Browser” and “Cornet AI,” which mimic Comet and claim links that are not verified.
  • Reporters advise checking the developer name and logo before downloading and following Perplexity’s verified channels for authentic links.
  • Comet is already available on Android and desktop with a free tier, fueling iPhone demand, and there is no report that Apple has removed the fake listing.
