ChatGPT for iPhone launched in the US last week, with OpenAI promising that it would come to more countries “in the coming weeks.”
The next phase in the rollout has now happened earlier than expected, with 11 more countries added on Wednesday, and a further 35 today …
Indeed, Apple has even banned its employees from using generative AI platforms for work projects.
We’ve already provided a large chunk of the answer, namely that it would simply be too risky at this stage. Large Language Models (LLMs) are very good at sounding intelligent, but far less good at actually being intelligent.
It’s also not like Apple is ignoring generative AI. CEO Tim Cook has praised its potential, is actively recruiting, and says that generative AI will transform its mobile products.
But while Apple may be taking a cautious approach to chatbots, it’s worth remembering that Apple is an artificial intelligence pioneer – it’s simply that its AI achievements are more behind the scenes.
For example, while Siri may be criticized today, it was the first AI-powered natural language processing system to achieve mass-market adoption – more than a decade ago, back in 2011.
In 2016, Apple launched the iPhone 7 Plus, with the AI-powered computational photography feature, Portrait mode. A year later, the company had a dedicated AI chip in its phones, in the form of the Neural Engine within the A11 processor. This makes possible a wide range of AI-powered features:

Apple coming under fire
The impressiveness of generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft Bing & Copilot have led many to question why Apple is lagging behind – with many unkind comparisons with Siri.Indeed, Apple has even banned its employees from using generative AI platforms for work projects.
We’ve already provided a large chunk of the answer, namely that it would simply be too risky at this stage. Large Language Models (LLMs) are very good at sounding intelligent, but far less good at actually being intelligent.
