Wayne Ma Confirms That Mark Gurman Scooped Him on the No-Cash Apple-OpenAI Deal
Wayne Ma, reporting for The Information:
Neither Apple nor OpenAI are paying each other to integrate
ChatGPT into the iPhone, according to a person with knowledge of
the deal. Instead, OpenAI hopes greater exposure on iPhones will
help it sell a paid version of ChatGPT, which costs around $20 a
month for individuals. Apple would take its 30% cut of these
subscriptions as is customary for in-app purchases.
Sometime in the future, Apple hopes to strike revenue-sharing
agreements with AI partners in which it gets a cut of the revenue
generated from integrating their chatbots with the iPhone,
according to Bloomberg, which first reported details of the deal.
OpenAI leaders have privately said the Apple arrangement could be
worth billions of dollars to the startup if things go well, The
Information previously reported.
I enjoy how Ma threw in a link to his own report from two weeks ago, but didn’t link to Gurman’s scoop — posted a full day before this — at Bloomberg. Classy.
