OpenAI Eyes Legal Action Against Apple Partner

OpenAI is exploring legal action against Apple after a ChatGPT integration failed to deliver expected subscribers and revenue. The company has hired an outside law firm to review options, including a potential breach-of-contract notice, though a full lawsuit may wait until after OpenAI's ongoing trial with Elon Musk. The partnership, announced in June 2024, embedded ChatGPT into Siri and iPhone features, but OpenAI says the integration was buried and hard to find. The dispute echoes Apple's troubled history with partners including Google Maps, Adobe Flash, and Spotify, all of whom clashed with Apple over control of its tightly managed platform.
