Apple Made Nearly $900 Million From Generative AI Apps Last Year

Fine, now let me remap the Siri button to an assistant from the current decade.

I read that supposedly the EU was going to force them to do just that in Europe, but we're still waiting...

Almost a billion dollars? Why that's like 0.2% of their revenue for the year! Another hundred or so opportunities like that and it could replace the iPhone everyone says is stagnant.

Last I checked, not really. It’s $30/month (in my country’s currency) regardless of whether I subscribe via the app or through their website. So at the end of the day, it’s up to the user to decide whether they would like for openAI to get 100% of subscriber revenue (minus payment processing fees) or for a portion of that to go to Apple as well.

I know some services charge you more via the app (to make up for Apple’s 30% cut, such as twitch subs or YouTube premium), but for now at least, chatGPT is jot one of them.

for the sake of science, i had to test this. You are correct, but seems like ChatGPT is the only outlier here.

Lest anyone think they will let up on the subscription push everywhere they can jam it.

Yep, Apple is totally responsible for ChatGPT subscriptions.
