We should point out that neither “X” nor Grok is listed among the top 18 “Popular iPhone Apps.” Nor are they among the 11 apps considered “Incredible iPhone apps,” or the 31 apps under the “Editors’ Choice Apps.”
Perhaps the most important issue as far as Musk is concerned is that ChatGPT appears to be named on most of the lists where Apple has “editorial control,” as pointed out by the multi-billionaire. Musk’s theory is that ever since Apple entered into a partnership with ChatGPT parent OpenAI in June 2024, Apple has favored ChatGPT over other AI apps.
However, that argument has been shot down, ironically, by “X” members who pointed out that ChatGPT competitor DeepSeek topped the App Store at the start of this year. Perplexity did the same last month in India’s App Store. Both of these events took place well after Apple agreed to partner with OpenAI.
