Website Master Home (ChinaZ.com) June 13 News: Mark Gurman, a renowned technology journalist at Bloomberg, delved deep into the latest developments in the partnership between Apple and OpenAI in a recent blog post. According to his revelations, the two tech giants did not engage in direct financial transactions during the initial phase of their collaboration, but instead explored a new form of partnership—potentially achieving mutual benefit through distribution commissions in the future.
Gurman noted that Apple holds high expectations for integrating ChatGPT into iOS 18 and firmly believes that this innovation will bring OpenAI significant "exposure," which is equivalent to or even surpasses traditional cash transactions. Specifically, Apple plans to introduce ChatGPT into Siri and new writing tools to provide users with more intuitive and human-like information responses.
Although the specific terms of the transaction have not been disclosed, insiders reveal that Apple will not pay OpenAI any fees in the initial stages of the partnership. Instead, Apple aims to create greater market value and business opportunities for OpenAI by promoting its brand and technology to hundreds of millions of iPhones.
Looking ahead, Gurman stated that Apple and companies like OpenAI will further expand their areas of cooperation. Apple hopes to share revenue from AI-related businesses with other AI service providers such as OpenAI and Google (previous reports indicated iPhone will support Gemini) in the future. Throughout this process, Apple will continue to act as a "platform," achieving mutual benefit with its partners through commission splits.
