As mentioned at the outset, it's no surprise that Altman is at WWDC 2024. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has reportedly penned a deal with OpenAI. This could mean that ChatGPT will be featured on iOS 18. However, as we recently reported, users will have to allegedly opt in. In other words, in order for users to access the built-in ChatGPT feature, they will have to manually turn on the option. This will allow users to choose whether they want some sort of ChatGPT entity on their device.
