Apple and OpenAI's two-year partnership integrating ChatGPT into Apple's ecosystem has become strained, with OpenAI preparing possible legal action over unmet expectations. OpenAI alleges Apple limited the integration and failed to promote ChatGPT features effectively, impacting subscription growth. Legal options include sending a breach of contract notice, though no lawsuit is imminent. Apple plans to introduce AI models from other providers like Google Gemini, potentially reducing OpenAI's role. Both companies have declined to comment publicly.
