In November 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas heard the lawsuit filed by xAI. xAI accused Apple of collaborating with OpenAI to marginalize other AI companies, citing the poor performance of its large model Grok on the App Store rankings after an update. Apple and OpenAI denied the allegations and applied to dismiss the lawsuit, but the judge rejected the request and ordered all parties to provide additional evidence. Recently, the court granted Apple and OpenAI's request for an extension, moving the deadline for submitting formal answer documents to December 11. Meanwhile, the court authorized xAI to initiate cross-border evidence collection, issuing a 'letter of request' to South Korea. However, xAI has not disclosed the specific targets of the evidence collection, with industry speculation pointing to potential involvement of Samsung, SK Hynix, or Kakao.
