Apple is unlikely to use OpenAI models to power any of its artificial intelligence features in iOS 18. Instead, what it’s doing here is testing its own AI models against ChatGPT.
For example, the SiriSummarization framework can do summarization using on-device models. Apple appears to be using its own AI models to power this framework, then internally comparing its results against the results of ChatGPT.
They have so little credibility with how comically bad Siri is at just basic commands (like stop the timer), than I’ll be absolutely shocked if they have anything remotely useful in the summer without just using chatgpt and other OpenAI models.

“What You Cannot Do.

So, if this article is right, Apple negotiated a special deal with OpenAI. I expect that to be quite expensive.
But how will OpenAI know you are doing this?

Don't think Apple is short on cash to cheap out on stuff like this.
