After a period of peace, Elon Musk charges Apple again!
During the WWDC24 opening speech, Apple has confirmed that versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia will be integrated into ChatGPT, as had been rumored for weeks. While this is a feature that most users of the company’s devices expect to see in action, For Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, this would be one of the reasons to discontinue the iPhone with iOS 18.
While Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi explained that Users will have full control over when ChatGPT is used and data shared with OpenAI will not be recorded or stored., Musk isn’t sure that’s entirely true. Thus, he assured through a publication in X, that he would ban iPhones with iOS 18 at Tesla and SpaceX because of this new function.
Elon Musk to ban iPhones with iOS 18 at Tesla and SpaceX
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s post in X, states:
If Apple integrates OpenAI at the operating system level, then Apple devices will be banned from my companies. This is an unacceptable security violation.

If Apple integrates OpenAI at the operating system level, then Apple devices will be banned from my companies. This is an unacceptable security breach. Visitors will have to leave their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage. Apple has no idea what actually happens once they transmit your data to OpenAI. “They sell you down the line.”
ChatGPT will be present in Apple Intelligence
Although Apple Intelligence is Apple’s new artificial intelligence framework for new versions of operating systems, The company said it will allow access to ChatGPT on iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia for specific functions.
ChatGPT access is integrated with Siri and writing tools on all Apple platformsusers will thus be able to benefit from ChatGPT’s knowledge, as well as its ability to interpret images and documents, without having to change tools, without installing anything and for free. And integration with other AI platforms in the future is not excluded.
Whether or not Musk will keep his words since the arrival of iOS 18 can be confirmed in fall 2024, when Apple’s AI becomes available in beta for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia and in the final versions themselves. Some additional features, platforms and languages will be added starting in 2025.
