Apple on Wednesday began integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT into its devices, providing a long-awaited feature that investors hope will help boost sales of its latest iPhones, Reuters reports, UNN writes.

The move is part of a broader rollout of AI-based tools in the latest operating system updates for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
The ChatGPT integration, announced in June as part of Apple's Intelligence presentation, will allow the company's Siri voice assistant to use the chatbot's expertise, including in user requests for photos and documents such as presentations.
Users can also ask ChatGPT to create written content in any program that supports the new Writing Tools feature. They can use the chatbot's image creation capabilities to add images.
The move came at the peak of the holiday shopping season, the company's most profitable sales period of the year. The slow rollout of Apple Intelligence features has so far caused some investors to worry about the strength of the iPhone 16 sales cycle.
The AI features will be available on the latest iPhone series, as well as on the Pro and Pro Max versions of the previous iPhone 15 line. Users of iPads with A17 Pro or M1 chips and later, as well as Macs with M1 chips and later, will also be able to access the tools.
