Apple is gearing up to supercharge its AI ecosystem. According to new reports, GPT 5—the most advanced AI model from OpenAI—will soon be integrated into Apple Intelligence across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This upgrade will take effect next month through iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, significantly enhancing the ChatGPT-powered features built into Apple's AI suite.
The ChatGPT integration originally launched with iOS 18, using the GPT 4o model to support tasks like writing assistance, image generation, and detailed query responses through Siri. Now, Apple is taking a major step forward by incorporating GPT 5, a model known for its improved performance in reasoning, writing, coding, and health-related queries.
Users can access ChatGPT inside Apple Intelligence to perform a wide range of tasks—rewriting documents, analyzing images, or even understanding their surroundings using Visual Intelligence. With GPT 5, these capabilities are expected to become more accurate, faster, and contextually aware.
This change aligns with OpenAI’s recent move to make GPT 5 available on all platforms including its website, desktop app, mobile apps, and now third-party integrations like Apple’s. While it remains unclear whether visionOS 26 will also receive the update, iPhone, iPad, and Mac users are set to benefit from the rollout beginning September.
Importantly, all interactions with ChatGPT inside Apple devices will continue to be opt-in, with clear consent prompts ensuring transparency about when and how data is shared with OpenAI.
The future of on-device AI is evolving quickly, and Apple’s GPT 5 update could mark a turning point for how we interact with digital assistants. Whether you are asking complex questions or need help generating content, this upgrade is expected to elevate the experience across the board.
