Apple brings OpenAI's GPT-5 to iOS and macOS


It’s unclear exactly how GPT-5’s new approach to model-switching will work here.

It turns out those users won't have to wait long for the latest model: Apple will switch to GPT-5 in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, according to 9to5Mac. Free users will have to accept whatever the choice is, while paid ChatGPT accounts allow manually picking which model to use on a prompt-by-prompt basis. It's unlikely that Apple will completely rethink how ChatGPT is integrated with GPT-5, but the company has more AI-related moves planned in the future, so 2026's OS updates could be another story.
