Can GPT-5 fix Apple Intelligence? We're about to find out

• Apple Intelligence will be upgraded with GPT-5. 
• GPT-5 is OpenAI's recently launched most capable model.
• Users will be able to access GPT-5 in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26. 

OpenAI released GPT-5 on Thursday, saying it's the company's most capable, smartest, and fastest model to date. While everyone, including free users, can access the model for free today via ChatGPT, Apple device users will be able to try it out even more easily. 

Apple's first foray into the AI race was the launch of Apple Intelligence in 2024. Taking its time to enter the AI space, the company took a different approach from competitors, forgoing the release of its own AI models and choosing to use OpenAI's instead via an integration with ChatGPT. Soon, that integration will use GPT-5.
