Apple and Open AI have teamed up for more than just improving Siri. What does this association consist of?

WWDC 2024 will go down in history as the keynote where we discovered Apple Intelligence and the OpenAI partnership with Apple. A merger between ChatGPT and upcoming operating systems like iOS 18 or macOS Sequoia that deserves a detailed analysis to know all the benefits it will bring to our devices.

OpenAI is the world’s leading artificial intelligence company, and Apple trusted him to propel Apple Intelligence to the top. Since 2015, OpenAI has been working on AI languages ​​and it is in the last two years that it has gained (and rightly so) global recognition. So it is, It already has an important agreement with Microsoft to deliver AI to Office and Windows with Copilot. And the fact is that Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI, a curious fact that we know has made Microsoft somewhat uncomfortable.

First there will be Apple Intelligence then ChatGPT

Apple’s goal is for the artificial intelligence running on the device to be completely private. It’s because of it The biggest advances in Apple Intelligence were developed within Apple and they will run on the power of Apple chips. This way, your information won’t leave your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

This is very important, because Apple Intelligence will be aware of everything

whatever happens to be able to help you with all your requests. An example of this is asking Siri where you were going to have dinner tomorrow with your mother. Apple Intelligence and Siri will analyze conversations with this to give you a result. You can even check the email if there is a booking confirmation. All this in a second.

In case we need more information, especially in complex queries for Siri, or if we want to write a text from scratch, ChatGPT will come into action. And Apple Intelligence focuses on what’s happening inside the device, and ChatGPT focuses on what’s happening outside. SO, the agreement between Apple and ChatGPT is exclusive to process certain query information and content generation. Under no circumstances will ChatGPT access the operating system or read our information by default.

Apple did not give more commercial details about the agreement and its duration. Apple typically deals with service providers on a very long-term basis, terminating their use because they themselves have reached develop a similar service or buy the business directly.

Throughout Apple’s history, we have examples of both methods. For example, Google Maps was the iPhone’s mapping service until the arrival of Apple Maps with iOS 6. On the other hand, the Shortcuts application was the result of the purchase of Workflow, the same with the musical recognition of Shazam or buy Beats to create Apple Music.

This partnership between Apple and OpenAI would therefore be guaranteed for a few years, and it will be in the future when Apple decides to take the step and present its own model, since Apple’s purchase of OpenAI would be somewhat complicatedknowing that Microsoft owns almost half of the company.

ChatGPT is integrated to give general information and create texts from scratch

Apple will integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia

in order to access all their knowledge. Additionally, Siri will also benefit from all the wisdom of ChatGPT. The best thing about this wedding ring is that it will look like one more element in the systemwithout having to open specific applications or change work tools.

When will ChatGPT be used?

Apple described it very well and ChatGPT will activate when:

• we want write texts from zero
• Create images which accompanies a text
• Analyze images oPDF documents
• Ask for information general: cooking recipes, travel ideas… any type of question or doubt

A good example is the one that Apple put in its own presentation asking Siri what can you put on your terrace to decorate it. At this point, the photo is sent to ChatGPT and responds with decorating suggestions based on your surroundings.

Apple will ask you every time if you want to use ChatGPT

To enhance the feeling of privacy, every time a connection with ChatGPT is required you will need to approve the connection. For example, if you ask Siri what you can cook if you have salmon, tomatoes and lemons, It will ask your permission to send the information to ChatGPT

and offers you an answer. The same thing will happen in Pages or Notes when you want to create a text from scratch giving some instructions.

ChatGPT in the Apple ecosystem will not require a connection and the IP address will be protected. It will be free to use and will be based on ChatGPT 4o. If we are subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, we can connect our account and enjoy the premium features.

When will ChatGPT arrive and what devices will it be compatible with?

The integration of ChatGPT within Apple Intelligence It will arrive next year in iOS 18, macOS 15 and iPadOS 18. Possibly with an update at the end of the year, with iOS 18.2. Additionally, ChatGPT and Apple Intelligence will be available only in the United States and in English. The rest of the territories and languages ​​will arrive throughout 2025.

If we talk about compatible devices, Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT will require a iPhone 15 Pro and later and iPad or Mac with M1 chip and later. And although the partnership between ChatGPT and Apple uses OpenAI servers, being a layer above Apple Intelligence, it will require the maximum power of Apple processors.

Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT integration promisesevolve the way we interact with our Apple devices. With more private and secure AI and support for ChatGPT’s in-depth knowledge, users can enjoy a more personalized and comprehensive experience. Although we will have to wait a bit for its global deployment, the future of artificial intelligence in Apple devices promises a lot.
