Apple is suing OpenAI. The complaint is readable and intense, as these things often are, though many experts seem to think many of the allegations are just the ways things are done. So what does Apple really want here, and why is it picking such a public fight with OpenAI?
On this episode of The Vergecast, Nilay and David go through the lawsuit, and look at Apple’s history of splashy litigation to determine whether Apple is worried about a possible competitor or simply looking to capitalize on a weak moment for OpenAI. All this is happening as Apple ships the public betas of its new software, headlined by the new Siri AI, and we have thoughts about what it all means — and whether the new Siri is actually any good.
After all that, the hosts turn to the week’s gadget news, which includes leaks about OpenAI gadgets and Pixel phones, and OnePlus bailing on the US and Europe. The Samsung-Apple duopoly continues to rule in the US, and it looks increasingly hard for anyone to challenge. Unless you just go and buy T-Mobile.
