During the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple announced 'Apple Intelligence,' a personal AI that runs on Apple devices such as iPhones and Macs. Additionally, Apple announced that it will integrate ChatGPT into its operating systems, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, to enable ChatGPT's content generation and summarization capabilities.

According to Apple, ChatGPT is integrated throughout the system, allowing users to write documents and generate images using ChatGPT, and it is also integrated into Siri, which will use ChatGPT results in Siri responses.
Apple has partnered with OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, to integrate ChatGPT into its system, but has not disclosed the specific terms of the agreement. According to sources, Gurman said Apple is not paying OpenAI any money. He also said Apple believes that having OpenAI's brand and technology used in the hundreds of millions of devices it sells is more valuable than any monetary payment.
If you look at the sample image released by Apple showing how ChatGPT's generated results are displayed as a Siri response, you can see that the 'ChatGPT' logo is placed at the bottom of Siri's response. In other words, by incorporating a feature that 'displays the ChatGPT logo every time a user uses ChatGPT's features,' Apple is providing OpenAI with the effect of increasing its brand value.
While ChatGPT-related features on Apple devices are free, users are given the option to access ChatGPT's paid features from their Apple devices if they subscribe to a paid ChatGPT plan. Gurman points out that OpenAI can make money by attracting Apple device users to its paid plans. Furthermore, Apple also earns a commission when users subscribe to a paid plan through the ChatGPT app.
At the time of writing, Apple has not received any money from OpenAI. However, sources said that Apple is aiming to establish a revenue-sharing system in the future, whereby if an AI company earns revenue from the AI responses on Apple devices, it will receive a portion of the revenue as a share.
At an event held after the WWDC 2024 keynote speech, Apple executive Craig Federighi said, 'In the future, we would like to integrate various AI models, such as Google's Gemini, into Apple products,' showing a positive attitude toward adopting AI other than ChatGPT.
