Apple's latest iOS version, iOS 26, introduces the integration of ChatGPT-5 with Apple Intelligence features
In a groundbreaking move, Apple is set to integrate the latest AI model, ChatGPT-5, into its upcoming operating system, iOS 26. This announcement was made by OpenAI, the manufacturer of the novel AI model, just two days ago.
The integration of ChatGPT-5 is expected to bring several enhancements to Apple's AI-powered services, particularly Apple Intelligence. With ChatGPT-5, users can anticipate improved language interaction, optimized reasoning functions, and even better coding tools compared to the latest GPT-40 model.
One of the key features of ChatGPT-5 is its video perception capabilities, which could potentially revolutionise various aspects of iOS 26, including system-wide search and visual intelligence.
Apple Intelligence will also introduce new features such as real-time translations in FaceTime and Messages conversations, further bridging communication gaps.
Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, will also benefit from the latest AI model, with ChatGPT-5 stepping in to handle certain queries when Siri's own systems are unable to process them.
Interestingly, the iPhone 17 series, consisting of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, will be unveiled next month, coinciding with the release of iOS 26. This series of devices will be the first to fully utilise the capabilities of ChatGPT-5.
However, users of iPhone 15 Pro and later models can already access some features of ChatGPT, such as web search, visual intelligence, or document queries, without the need for an OpenAI account.
It's worth noting that iOS 26's communication with ChatGPT will be designed to mask IP addresses, ensuring user queries are not stored at OpenAI.
This news was reported by MacRumors on Friday, adding another exciting chapter to the ongoing advancements in AI technology and Apple's commitment to integrating cutting-edge AI solutions into its products.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the unveiling of the iPhone 17 series and the release of iOS 26 in September.
