iOS 26 will bring GPT-5 to Apple Intelligence — what you need to know
OpenAI's newly-announced GPT-5 will be coming to Apple Intelligence on recent iPhones, iPads and Macs a lot quicker than you may have thought.
According to a statement given to 9to5Mac's Zac Hall, Apple says that GPT-5 integration is indeed coming to Apple Intelligence, and will be available in iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26.
Apple's latest iPhone, iPad and Mac OSes are currently in developer and public beta. The stable versions should appear next month alongside the expected launch of the iPhone 17 series, meaning it won't be long until users can try out the new version of ChatGPT on their favorite Apple device.
Currently, ChatGPT-powered Apple Intelligence features use GPT-4o, OpenAI's last big update to its models designed to better handle speech and image inputs alongside traditional text prompts.
ChatGPT integration for Apple Intelligence isn't constant, but rather appears when Apple would rather rely on the world's biggest AI chatbot for answers that its own services can't handle.
