iOS 26 to Bring ChatGPT-5 Integration to Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence will integrate OpenAI's newly launched ChatGPT-5 model when iOS 26 arrives next month, Apple has confirmed (via 9to5Mac).

The integration means Siri will tap into the latest AI model when Apple's own systems can't handle specific requests. ChatGPT-5, which OpenAI announced Thursday, offers enhanced reasoning capabilities and coding tools, and better voice interaction and video perception, compared to the current GPT-4o model powering Apple Intelligence.

Currently, ChatGPT can be invoked selectively within Apple Intelligence for tasks like web searches, document queries, and Visual Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro and later models. Users can access these features without an OpenAI account, although linking one enables subscription benefits.

Apple Intelligence will also gain new capabilities in iOS 26, including Live Translation for real-time conversation interpretation in FaceTime and Messages, plus Visual Intelligence upgrades for systemwide content searching.

When iOS 18 communicates ChatGPT, Apple obscures IP addresses and prevents OpenAI from storing user requests, and the same technique will be used in iOS 26 to maintain privacy. The software update will arrive alongside the expected iPhone 17 launch next month.

I am curious why not any LLM? I would prefer Grok to be in my iphone vs ChatGPT. Or swap with Gemini 2.5 pro or Claude.

I hope Apple's anonymizing the queries.
OpenAI knows FAR too much about me already.

Hell no.

That’s one more reason for me to stick with my iPhone XR a bit longer.

Just iOS 26? So we are already in the era of Apple Intelligence bifurcation. This means More Personal Siri will never come to iOS 18 as advertised, lending more weight to the current class action lawsuits. Now if users want Apple Intelligence, they also have to deal with Liquid Glass.

I think this is a good thing.

Siri is pretty useless, so if Apple can't make her/him better, then they have little options.
The problem is that this just appears to be Siri sending requests to OpenAI which can already be done by simply typing the same request into ChatGPT. It's just replacing "here's something I found on the web" with "here's what chatGPT has to say on the matter" 😁

What I want is for Siri to get better and have better integration to stock and third-party apps. I want to be able to add events to a named calendar, or activate a Focus mode I created from scratch. Simple things. ChatGPT won't have access to control the phone, so I'm confused as to what new features this "integration" will bring.

I'm hoping I'm misunderstanding, and it's a deeper integration than I'm describing.

No thanks. I'll continue to disable Apple Intelligence on my devices, and use the Grok app instead.
