Not only is ChatGPT free to use, Apple also receives "commission" from OpenAI

Unnamed sources indicate that the terms between Apple and OpenAI allow the iPhone maker to not only pay no fees but also receive a commission from OpenAI because it can bring ChatGPT to more than 2.2 billion iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices worldwide .

This significantly improves ChatGPT's ability to compete with its market share. However, the partnership with Apple will require ChatGPT to spend a significant amount of money on the Azure cloud system, which also brings in a lot of revenue for Microsoft. However, OpenAI also plans to gradually increase the cost of paid services for a large number of Apple users, which gives the company an opportunity to increase profits.

So the terms Apple is offering OpenAI are similar to the search engine deal Apple has with Google, which gives users a choice of different search engines on Safari. In addition to the OpenAI deal, Apple is also negotiating with Google for a deal to include Gemini on its future devices.

Not only OpenAI and Google, Apple is also considering partnering with Anthropc - a company founded by former OpenAI employees - to bring their Claude system, giving users 3 options for advanced AI Chatbot services.

Apple considers that after AI services become popular in the future, users will prefer to use AI instead of search engines. Therefore, the current layout is also to compensate for the loss of search engine profit sharing in the future.
