GPT-5 is anticipated to be launched on Apple devices shortly.

GPT-5 represents the newest foundational model for OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It is expected that the AI chatbot will merge with Apple Intelligence and Siri when iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26 are released, according to reports from 9to5Mac. This indicates that GPT-5 will drive numerous AI functionalities within Apple, although users still have the option to download the ChatGPT iOS application.

Specific release dates for these operating system updates have yet to be disclosed, but they usually debut around September or October each year. (Beta versions are currently available.) The upcoming iOS is projected to launch together with the iPhone 17 in September. Once the new iPadOS and macOS are introduced, GPT-5 will be obtainable through Apple Intelligence and Siri on MacBooks and iPads.

Nevertheless, certain older Apple devices do not support Apple Intelligence.

Concerning device compatibility, Apple has not indicated which products will be able to use GPT-5, but it is probable that devices already utilizing Apple Intelligence will be compatible. For iPhones, this implies at least an iPhone 15 Pro or more recent models. Mac computers should work fine as long as they are equipped with an M1 chip or newer, and the same goes for iPads. The iPad Air necessitates an A17 Pro chip for compatibility with Apple Intelligence.

It remains uncertain how GPT-5 will operate on a daily basis with Apple Intelligence. Presently, Apple Intelligence reroutes Siri inquiries to ChatGPT when it is the more appropriate response. Writing Tools and visual intelligence capabilities are also enhanced via ChatGPT. GPT-5 is anticipated to improve these functionalities, although the degree of enhancement is still to be seen.

ChatGPT also powers Microsoft’s Copilot collection of AI functionalities, and OpenAI has direct collaborations with both Apple and Windows.
