Apple has confirmed that its next-generation software updates—iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26—will integrate OpenAI's newly released GPT-5 model into Apple Intelligence, replacing the current GPT-4o. This update is expected to roll out next month, coinciding with the anticipated launch of the iPhone 17. The integration of GPT-5 will enhance Apple Intelligence's capabilities, powering features such as Siri and enabling more advanced AI voice control. Apple aims to allow Siri to control apps through voice commands via a new App Intents feature slated for release next spring, although some app categories, like banking, may be excluded from this functionality. Additionally, Apple has begun limited testing of an AI chatbot within its support app, designed to provide basic troubleshooting with privacy safeguards and a human fallback option. These developments position Apple's AI enhancements as a key component in the future of its smart home hardware and user interaction experience.
