The standout detail from Apple’s WWDC 2024 conference in June was undoubtedly the announcement of ChatGPT integration for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. So, when will this popular AI tool be available on Apple’s products? A significant development on this matter was recently revealed.
Apple CEO Tim Cook’s Statement on ChatGPT for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
During a meeting where the company’s financial reports were shared, Apple CEO Tim Cook made some remarks about the ChatGPT integration announced at WWDC. Cook stated that everything is on track and the AI tool will be available by the end of this year.
The company’s top executive highlighted that this integration will significantly enhance user experience, enabling users to interact with their devices more naturally and interactively by working seamlessly with Siri and other Apple services.
ChatGPT, which will be integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, will be offered for free without the need for account creation, and users will have the choice to enable or disable this feature. Moreover, ChatGPT Plus subscribers will have access to additional features by linking their accounts.
With this integration, Siri will function more smoothly. For instance, Siri can exchange information with ChatGPT to answer a question or complete a task with your consent, providing more comprehensive, accurate, and faster responses. Apple has stated that the latest GPT-4o model from OpenAI will be utilized for this purpose.
Elon Musk, following the initial announcement of the collaboration between Apple and OpenAI, harshly criticized both companies. The entrepreneur stated that if ChatGPT is introduced, he would ban the use of Apple products within his companies. Whether Musk will follow through on this, which he describes as a security breach, remains to be seen by the end of this year.
