According to sources familiar with the matter, the partnership between OpenAI and Apple has shown signs of fraying, potentially sparking legal conflicts. OpenAI is collaborating with law firms to explore options for legal action against Apple, which may include sending a notice of breach. The two companies reached a partnership in 2024 to integrate ChatGPT into Apple devices, but OpenAI believes that Apple has not fully fulfilled the agreement by failing to effectively promote its technology, resulting in user growth and revenue falling far short of expectations. OpenAI had hoped the partnership would generate billions of dollars in subscription revenue, but the actual results have been limited. Currently, both sides still hope to prioritize resolving the issue through out-of-court methods.
