Elon Musk’s xAI has filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, claiming that their partnership unfairly hinders competition in the AI market. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI benefits from user prompts from iPhones, giving it a significant advantage in improving its chatbot technology, while Apple is allegedly deprioritizing competing AI apps in its App Store.
Apple has reportedly turned down an offer from Elon Musk to use his satellite technology, raising concerns about the viability of its own plans for satellite communications. The rejection may jeopardize Apple's ambitions in this area, as Musk's Starlink service could have provided significant infrastructure support.
