‘Apple Intelligence saw minimal usage’: OpenAI complains that ChatGPT in Siri was ‘dramatically underperforming’ as hardly anyone was using Apple’s AI

OpenAI told a federal court in Texas on 22 September 2026 that Apple’s integration of ChatGPT into Siri was “dramatically underperforming” by the summer of 2025 and “persistently underperforming” by March 2026, consistent with its internal view that Apple Intelligence saw minimal usage. The admission sits in OpenAI’s summary judgment brief in the antitrust case brought by Elon Musk’s X Corp. and SpaceXAI. This article covers what the 59-page filing says, what its redactions hide, why the opt-in integration struggled, how Gemini, Anthropic and xAI grew regardless, and what comes next for the case and for ChatGPT inside Apple’s new Siri AI.

Apple’s $250 million settlement over the Siri features it demonstrated in June 2024 and did not ship until September 2026 is now accepting claims. Roughly 37 million US iPhone owners are eligible on seven models bought between 10 June 2024 and 29 March 2025, with a presumptive payment of $25 per device and a $95 ceiling. This guide covers the eligibility rules, the serial number requirement, the arithmetic that decides where in that range the payment lands, the court timetable through the 24 February 2027 final approval hearing, what Apple did and did not concede, and the questions the settlement leaves open — including everyone outside the United States.

Why Is There a Waitlist for Siri AI in iOS 27?

iOS 27 shipped on 14 September 2026 and the new Siri AI sits behind a queue that Apple has barely explained. Two engineering constraints are doing the rationing: a model payload above 10GB that every eligible device has to download, and Private Cloud Compute capacity that every admitted user loads permanently. This piece works through what Apple’s support pages actually say, why the wait estimate is generated server-side rather than published as a date, the full device, language and region eligibility rules that filter people out before the queue, reported wait times from the beta and from launch week, the daily usage limits that apply afterwards, a troubleshooting table for a stuck queue, and what a per-device 10GB download means for an IT team managing a fleet of iPhones.
