Unveiling ChatGPT: OpenAI's App Dominates the App Store, but Apple Takes a Cut

The AI revolution is in full swing, and OpenAI's ChatGPT app is making waves. But amidst the excitement, Apple quietly takes a bite of the AI pie.

OpenAI unveiled an iPhone app for ChatGPT, soaring to the top of the App Store charts and earning Apple's endorsement as a "must-have" app. 

However, Apple's infamous 30% cut, known as the "Apple Tax," raises concerns. Critics argue that in-app NFT purchases would become expensive due to this fee.

For every ChatGPT Plus subscription on iOS, Apple claims $6 out of the $20 paid monthly by users. 

Apple's dominance and revenue generation clash with the ongoing debate surrounding data privacy. Yet, ChatGPT remains available on the App Store, bolstering Apple's service revenue.

Apple faced legal battles over its 30% fee, with a U.S. federal appeals court ruling against the company for breaching California's Unfair Competition Law. However, OpenAI sticks with Apple's in-app payment system.

As the AI revolution unfolds, the intricate dance between AI pioneers, big tech, and regulators becomes apparent. Apple, amidst controversies, continues to leverage the innovative work of others for its own gain.

The scramble to capitalize on the AI revolution has only just begun, and the stakes are high. Stay tuned for more developments in this fascinating space.
