Elon Musk reportedly sues OpenAI and Apple over an alleged iPhone "arrangement." The principal points of the article are not provided in the given text snippet.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, has filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc. and OpenAI in a U.S. federal court in Texas. The lawsuit accuses the two companies of conspiring to stifle competition in the AI app market on iPhones [1][2].The suit, filed on Monday, August 25, 2025, alleges that Apple and OpenAI have entered into an unfair arrangement to favor OpenAI's AI app across iPhones, thereby making it difficult for other AI chatbot makers to reach the top rankings in the App Store. Musk had previously threatened to sue Apple, stating that the company's actions were hindering competition for AI apps.
According to the lawsuit, Apple has been using its control over the App Store to favor OpenAI, a company Musk co-founded, by giving it preferential treatment in terms of app store rankings and visibility. This, the suit claims, is a violation of antitrust laws and unfairly advantages OpenAI over other AI developers.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an injunction to stop Apple and OpenAI from continuing their alleged collusion. The legal action is part of Musk's broader efforts to challenge Apple's dominance in the AI app market and promote fair competition.
This development comes amid growing concerns over the power and influence of tech giants like Apple in shaping the digital landscape. The lawsuit is expected to have significant implications for the tech industry, potentially setting a precedent for future antitrust cases involving AI and app store rankings.
