Apple’s WWDC announcements include a partnership with OpenAI, allowing iOS 18 users to ask ChatGPT questions through Siri. The move benefits OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, with Apple wanting users to easily access external models such as ChatGPT without switching tools. The integration expands Siri’s capabilities beyond Apple Intelligence, offering users more answers and information. The deal signifies a major opportunity for OpenAI and provides increased access to Apple’s massive user base. Apple selected OpenAI due to its world knowledge and privacy focus, with CEO Tim Cook noting the refusal to track IP addresses as a key factor.
