Apple has taken a step in AI integration with the introduction of ChatGPT in iOS 18. This feature allows users to sign in with their OpenAI account and use ChatGPT models. Once connected, users can select ChatGPT as their model to use inside Siri and as part of the new intelligent writing tools and other features across iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.

Users can take advantage of the usual free quotas for ChatGPT usage, or connect their paid subscriptions to use their ChatGPT Plus benefits instead.
