Apple might be getting sued by OpenAI

over the Apple Intelligence flop. We

have a lot of fresh iOS 27 and macOS 27

leaks. Apple just patched a loophole

that used to save you money on Apple

products. Why iOS 26.5 is a bigger

update than you think, and more. All in

today's episode of Apple Weekly. Okay,

so let's start by talking about the

potential lawsuits that OpenAI might

bring on Apple for Apple Intelligence

essentially being a flop for ChatGPT.

So, this report comes from Bloomberg's

Mark Gurman, and he said this, "Apple's

2-year-old partnership with OpenAI has

become strained with the AI startup

failing to see the expected benefits

from the deal and now preparing possible

legal action. OpenAI lawyers are

actively working with an outside legal

firm on a range of options that could be

formally executed in the near future."

And it goes on to say that OpenAI

believed that the company's partnership,

which wove ChatGPT into Apple software,

would coax more users into subscribing

to the chatbot. It also expected deeper

integration across more Apple apps and

prime placement within the Siri

assistant. Instead, Apple's use of

OpenAI technology across its operating

systems remains limited, and features

can be hard to find. OpenAI initially

believed that the deal could generate

billions of dollars per year in

subscriptions, something that hasn't

come close to happening, and now

believes the Apple implementation has

hurt OpenAI's brand with customers. So,

basically, OpenAI thought that putting

ChatGPT

into, you know, Apple software with

Apple Intelligence was going to lead to

a boost in subscriptions, which sounds

logical, but as we all know, Apple

Intelligence has been quite the flop as

of now. So, that is why OpenAI is so

upset at this. And there's also another

side of this where Apple also just

doesn't like OpenAI, it seems like at

this point. So, Gurman said this on X,

"For its part, Apple has been furious

for over a year about OpenAI's

aggressive recruiting of its hardware

engineers that was acquired from Johnny

Ive. Apple has also been wary of

OpenAI's privacy practices. So, it seems

like this partnership is just really

doomed because OpenAI doesn't like Apple

and Apple doesn't like OpenAI for

completely separate reasons. Like,

OpenAI is upset because obviously

ChatGPT going into all these Apple

devices really proved to be kind of a

flop for what they were expecting, which

was billions of subscriptions. And

really nobody that I know bought a

subscription to ChatGPT because they

used it on an Apple device through Apple

Intelligence. And then Apple's mad

because they're taking all their

hardware people and building, you know,

these AI hardware devices now. So, we'll

see what comes from this, but it does

seem like OpenAI might actually be

preparing a lawsuit against Apple for

this. But, we'll have to see. To be

continued. Now, with all that being

said, Apple Intelligence is about to get

a massive upgrade with iOS 27. And we

have brand new details, a lot of

details, on iOS 27 thanks to Bloomberg's

Mark Gurman. And this comes from a

separate report from Gurman where he

detailed a lot of new features coming in

the camera app, system apps, you know,

with Siri, and a lot more. So, he starts

off by talking about the camera app in

iOS 27. And he says, "Users will be able

to choose which features appear in the

camera app and where they're placed."

It's basically going to be like widgets.

That includes controls for flash,

exposure, the timer, and resolution. In

addition to offering a more personalized

experience, the changes should appeal to

professional users. And he elaborates on

these camera features. So, he says that

the controls toggle has been moved from

the top right of the camera to the right

side of the shutter button. There's also

a new Siri mode alongside photo, video,

and other options, which is basically

going to take you to visual

intelligence. He then also says that

each capture mode has its own set of

widgets, which can be picked from a

transparent add widgets tray that slides

up from the bottom. So, it seems like

the camera app is going to be a lot more

customizable now. It's going to be kind

of like a control center, but inside the

camera app, which can actually be pretty

neat. He then gave us some details on

the upcoming Siri changes. So, aside

from Siri being a standalone application

and a chatbot, which we kind of already

knew, we've talked about that before,

he's saying that Siri will for sure now

be in the Dynamic Island interface. So,

instead of having the whole glow around

the screen like we've seen before, it

looks like it's just going to be a small

little blip up in the Dynamic Island

moving forward. He says users can also

activate a new system search by swiping

down from the top center of the screen

anywhere. When a user does that, a

search or ask bar in the Dynamic Island

will appear. And when you engage with

Siri, you can swipe a transparent

results card down to enter into a

chatbot conversation mode, which looks

similar to a text message thread. This

interface has inline mini app cards to

see results for things like weather,

upcoming appointments, and notes. The

search or ask interface looks similar to

Spotlight search on an iPhone today, but

it can show more advanced features and

additional data from within

applications. It then says AI-powered

search from the open web is also coming,

which allows general knowledge questions

to get detailed answers for the first

time. And that includes supplying bullet

points of information from the web and

large images. There's also a change

coming to Safari, so he says that the

web browser is gaining a new start page

with four tabs across the top to more

easily move between favorites,

bookmarks, a reading list of saved

articles, and browsing history. The

weather app is getting a slight design

change including a new conditions panel

on the main page for a particular city

that allows a user to tap between data

points beyond temperature, including

information on rain and wind. says this

currently requires jumping into another

page in the app. Image Playground has

also been completely redesigned for iOS

27. And then we also have some system

changes. So, he says that Apple is

tweaking the tab bar across the bottom

of several apps to combine search with

the rest of the app's tabs. There's

going to be a new animation for the

on-screen keyboard where the keys slide

up from the bottom of the iPhone's

interface. There's going to be a redo

and undo control when customizing the

home screen, which is convenient for

users who frequently move around app

icons and widgets. So, before, you know,

you had to shake to undo a move, there's

going to be now a dedicated back and

forward button, like to be able to redo

or undo a move you make on the home

screen. And it says Apple is also making

some design changes across the upcoming

Mac OS 27, looking to address

controversial decisions around shadows

and transparencies last year. In some

cases, those visual quirks make text

hard to read when using the software.

So, I think more people liked liquid

glass on the iPhone than on the Mac. I

saw so many complaints about Mac OS

Tahoe with liquid glass, you know,

compared to iOS. So, it looks like Apple

is going to kind of revert some of those

and make it a little bit easier to read,

you know, in Mac OS 27, which I think

will be nice. Okay, so let's talk about

the loophole that Apple just patched,

which has existed for quite some time

now, and I know a lot of people who have

abused this. And that is the fact that

before now, you used to be able to use

the educational discount without

verifying that you're actually a student

to get up to 10% off of Apple products.

But now, Apple has cracked down on that,

and they are now requiring you to verify

that you're actually a student. So, you

need to, you know, go to the UniDays

platform to get the education store

discount. You have to basically confirm

that you're a student or an educator.

And at the same time they implemented

this change, they also added the Apple

Watch Series 11, the Ultra 3, and the

Apple Watch SE to the education store

with that up to 10% off discounts. And

Apple actually tried this whole UniDays

verification back in 2022, but they

pulled it very quickly because there

were a lot of complaints. So, yeah, if

you were somebody who used to just get

these student discounts even if you

weren't a student, the jig is up, you

will now have to verify it, you know, to

prove that you're actually a student.

Okay, so we have to talk about this

because Google just this week announced

a new Google Book. Yes, they just

announced a brand new laptop called the

Google Book, and this is an AI laptop

built around Google Gemini. And this is

interesting because this new laptop line

it a hybrid of Android and Chrome OS.

And instead of a cursor, you get a magic

pointer, which you wiggle it to activate

Gemini, and you can point it at things

to get contextual answers. Like if you

pointed at a date in an email, Gemini

will set up a meeting, and you could

also select two images, and it

visualizes them together. It's actually

pretty neat. So, Acer, Asus, Dell, HP,

and Lenovo are all making Google Books,

and each one's going to have a glow bar

on the lid, which I actually really

like. I think this is really cool. So,

these are going to launch in the fall.

There's no pricing just yet, but Google

is using premium language, so don't

expect it to be cheap like a MacBook

Neo. But, this is potentially going to

be competition for maybe the MacBook

Air, which I don't think any of you guys

are going to be buying it, but it is

still pretty interesting to see Google

doing something like this. I think it

actually has a chance to be somewhat

successful even up against the MacBook

Air. Now, if you're somebody who is a

collector, specifically an Apple

collector, you just like collecting

Apple products and just memorabilia and

things like that, this week there was

something interesting that went up for

sale. There was a $1 Steve Jobs coin

that went up as part of the American

Innovation Series. So, the design shows

a young Steve Jobs in a turtleneck, you

know, his classic outfit there, sitting

in front of the Northern California

landscape. So, you could buy a roll of

25 for $61 or a bag of 100 for $154.

Okay, so let's talk about the Apple

Vision Pro. And before you stop

watching, just know that this has

nothing to do with the existing Apple

Vision Pro. We're going to talk about

the future of the Vision products

because it's been really interesting. A

lot of people has been a lot of debate

online of whether Apple is actually ever

going to release another Vision Pro

headset or if they're just going to put

all their energy and all their resources

into the glasses just to completely

discontinue the Apple Vision Pro line.

And we actually just got a fresh report

from Mark Gurman this week, and he says

that a new Vision Pro is not going to

arrive for at least 2 years at a

minimum. And he says that Apple has not

abandoned the project, but the

long-rumored cheaper Vision Air was

canceled last year, which we talked

about. And most of the Vision's product

group has been reassigned to the smart

glasses division, Siri, AirPods with

cameras, and the new AI pin. They're all

working on those instead of the Vision

Pro. And he said this, "Many of Apple's

top executives have written off the

current Vision Pro as a product given

its price and weight. John Ternus, the

new CEO, was not a proponent of it

during development. They do, however,

believe in glasses and that the Vision

Pro is a stepping stone to that vision."

So yeah, looks like we still could be

seeing another Vision Pro headset, but

it might not be like the Vision Air, the

cheaper, lighter Vision Air. It might

just be another version of the Vision

Pro. Obviously, it probably still will

be lighter and everything like that, but

it's looking like that is still

potentially in the cards, but we're at

least a couple years away from that

because we know that next year Apple is

releasing the glasses, so it could be,

you know, a couple years after that

even, if it actually comes out at all.

But what do you guys think? Do you think

Apple should actually release another

Vision Pro or should they just put all

their efforts into the glasses and just

keep building those? Now, if you want to

get some AirPods Pro 3 for free, you

actually can, straight from Apple. So,

this actually was from Mark Gurman. He

posted this over on X. Apple is planning

a pretty big Apple Card sign-up

incentive for as early as next week in

retail stores. If you sign up for a new

card, buy AirPods Pro 3, then you'll get

$250 cash back. In other words, if you

get an Apple Card, you get free AirPods.

So, as early as next week, if you go

into the store, you could be seeing this

promotion where you can get, you know,

basically free AirPods Pro 3 if you sign

up for the Apple Card. Okay, so the

hottest topics in Apple world right now

are AI, like Apple Intelligence, and

foldables. We're all anticipating the

iPhone Ultra, the iPhone Fold, whatever

it's going to be called. But do people

in the real world actually care about

that? So, we just got a survey from CNET

and YouGov. They surveyed 2,400 US

smartphone owners, and they found that

only 13% would upgrade for a foldable

design, and only 12% for AI features.

Meanwhile, people care a lot more about

price, 55%, battery life, 52%, and

storage, 38%.

And if you take a look, the camera and

the display size also both beat AI and

foldables as far as what people actually

want. And this is interesting because I

remember the surveys going from 2024 to

2025, AI was like really hyped. Like a

lot of people were anticipating AI. They

said they'd upgrade for AI. And there's

been a sharp decline in, you know,

consumer, basically just what people

think and what they want from a phone

now in 2026, you know, going into 2027.

So, it seems like the sentiment has died

down dramatically in terms of if AI is

going to be something that people

actually buy a phone for. Like if that's

one of their main things they're buying

the phone for. So, you know, part of me

thinks that the whole foldables, you

know, thing is such a low percentage

because we just haven't seen Apple's

yet. Usually, you know, sentiment is

really low, it's really like negative

until Apple comes out with theirs. And

it's, you know, something completely

different than what we've seen before.

So, obviously, the design, the hardware

is probably going to be the same, but

there's going to be software and things

like that that make Apple's foldable

much different. And I think after that,

and maybe even after the new AI

features, you know, these numbers might

rise for the next year of surveys. But

what do you guys think? Do you care more

about the camera, the battery life, and

things like that more than like a

foldable design, and more than, you

know, better AI features? Let me know

your thoughts. Now, we also heard some

news that Apple is going to be buying

iPhone and Mac chips from Intel. Yeah,

so this comes from the Wall Street

Journal, and they're saying that Apple

and Intel have struck a preliminary deal

where Intel would manufacture some of

Apple's chips. And the likely targets

for this are going to be the lower-end

M-series chips. So, like in the iPad,

the base model iPad, and the MacBook

Neo, that's where we could be seeing

these Intel-produced chips. And

according to this report, they're saying

that the reason for this happening now

is because Tim Cook just admitted that

iPhone 17 was supply constrained because

TSMC could not make enough A19 and A19

Pro chips. So, also AI server demand is

completely eating TSMC's capacity at the

moment. So, Apple needs a backup foundry

and they need it fast for products that

could be coming, you know, as early as

like this year or next year. Okay, so

let's move on over to our iPhone here

because this week we did see the

official final release of iOS 26.5 after

going through several beta updates. You

can see this is the build number for

26.5 and there's actually, you know,

more in this update than people

expected. So, of course, some of the big

changes were like end-to-end encryption

for RCS messaging, which basically means

that you're not, you know, nobody's

going to be able to intercept the

messages when it's being sent from one

device to another device. It's

encrypted. And also, we got the new

wallpapers. If I go here and go into my

wallpapers, you can see this is the new

Pride wallpaper. If I go to customize

this, if you tap on the little, you

know, color wheel right there with the

edit button in it. If you tap on that,

you could choose to have custom colors

here. So, you can really customize this

to the way you like, which I really like

and I've not seen this before from

Apple. So, it's a brand new type of

feature and it's kind of hidden. They

didn't really talk about it too much,

but you can see there, that is what that

looks like. And of course, you can have

the pre-built ones over here as well.

So, a lot of people said this reminded

them of the iPhone SE wallpaper, which I

agree, but I have to say I think this is

one of the best Pride wallpapers Apple

has ever done. I think it looks

tremendous and I love all the

versatility and, you know, the different

colors you get as well. It's not like

just one set of colors, which is pretty

cool. So, that of course was another big

feature in iOS 26.5, but the thing I

wanted to talk about the most was the

security patches because if you take a

look at the security updates here, there

are more than 50 bug fixes in this

update. So, lots of things changing

here. Now, thankfully, there's nothing

that was being actively exploited, but

you can see there are a ton of new fixes

in here, you know, in terms of security.

So, that's always a massive reason to

update your device. I said that in the

video, you know, but I'll say it again.

You need to update to 26.5 if you want

your device to be as secure as possible.

Now, we also need to talk about the ads

in Apple Maps just one more time because

there seems to still somehow be some

massive confusion with the ads in Apple

Maps. I've seen so many people on social

media saying, "I don't want ads while

I'm driving. I don't want to have an ad

pop up while I'm trying to read my

directions." That's not the case. The

ads in Apple Maps are very simply when

you're searching for something, it's

going to show you relevant, you know, uh

restaurants, coffee shops, things like

that nearby when you search for

something. There are not going to be ads

ever while you're actually driving like

you see in Waze and things like that.

Apple would never do something like that

in my opinion. So, you can see that when

you search for restaurants, it will show

ad right there at the top just like you

see in Google Maps, like you see when

you Google something in general, you

know, or when you're on Safari and you

search for something, you'll see a

sponsored result at the top. That's

basically what the ads are going to be

in at the Apple Maps application. I've

also seen people say, "Well, I'm not

seeing it yet. Why is that?" Well, we're

not actually going to see these ads

until the summer. So, 26.5 just

implemented the change and now Apple's

going to of course be sourcing through

and, you know, collecting payment from

brands and things like that so that they

can or businesses so they can actually

put their ads in here, but we're not

actually going to see it until the

summer. But yeah, iOS 26.5 is a

relatively small update. Of course, we

have the ads, the new wallpaper, you

know, some small changes like with

reminders and things like that. But

again, it's a 0.5 update. The 0.5

updates are never major updates. The

major updates once again are always the

0.2 updates and the 0.4 updates. All the

other updates around it are going to be

relatively minor and they're going to be

filled with security patches, which is

always why I say it's still a good

reason is to keep your device as

up-to-date as possible even if you don't

have all the flashy, sexy features like

you get in the 0.2, the the 0.0.2 and

0.4 updates. Anyways, let's talk about

what to expect next from Apple. So, if

we head into our calendar right here,

you can see that next week is going to

be the week of May 18th. Now, we could

be seeing an iOS 26.6 beta, but I think

at this point all eyes are going to be

on iOS 27 because we are less than a

month away from seeing iOS 27 at beta

one gets released. And of course, iOS 27

in general getting unveiled, which is

going to be right here on Monday, June

8th. That is the first day of the

Worldwide Developers Conference. Now,

I've had a lot of people ask me, will

you be going to the Worldwide Developers

Conference in person? And no, I will not

be going. I will be staying here. I

actually didn't get invited anyways, but

I will be staying here and I will be

making the videos like I always do. I'll

be streaming the event as well. I'll be

streaming WWDC 2026 and I will be

showing all the new features in a long

video after that does get released just

as I do as an annual tradition here on

the channel. So, that is what you can

expect that. I don't think at this point

you care at all about 26.6. I know I

don't personally, you know, so we could

be seeing a 26.5.1

before the 26.6 final release, which

26.6 is most likely going to get

released in June, I would say. So, maybe

you know, near the end of June is a

possibility for that. But again, all

eyes on iOS 27 at this point. And then

finally, we have another crazy AirTag

story. I know I've gone a few weeks

without doing a crazy AirTag story. It's

been kind of light, but we have like

three of them to go through and today is

going to be one of them. We'll have more

for the future episodes as well. But

this time in New Jersey around 3:30

a.m., thieves pulled up to a custom auto

shop. They smashed through the front

window and within seconds, they stole a

$300,000 Lamborghini Urus. And at first,

it looked like the Lamborghini had

completely vanished. But what they

didn't know, what the thieves didn't

know, is that Mo, the owner of the shop,

had secretly hidden an AirTag inside of

the SUV. So, he pulled up the Find My

application, of course, as one does and

he called the police where they also

began tracking the Lamborghini through

the Find My network as it moved across

North Jersey. But then things escalated

fast because a Paramus police officer

finally spotted the dark purple

Lamborghini flying down Route 17 with a

California plate and attempted a traffic

stop. But the driver refused to pull

over, and instead, police say the

suspects took off, leading officers on a

chase through several different towns.

Meanwhile, the stolen Lamborghini was

literally falling apart during the

pursuit, and the thieves had apparently

been driving it for miles on a

completely blown front tire, destroying

the wheel and causing about $15,000 in

damage. But eventually, the driver

exited the Garden State Parkway in

Hillside, where the Lamborghini suddenly

came to a stop. And the second it did,

multiple suspects jumped out and ran in

different directions on foot, while

police flooded the area. And the

neighbors around there said they'd never

seen that many cops in their

neighborhood before. But anyways, police

managed to catch one suspect, a

21-year-old man from Newark, who was

later charged with receiving stolen

property and resisting arrest. And

somehow, despite all the damage and all

that chaos, Mo still got his Lamborghini

back. And he later said it was actually

the second time that somebody tried

stealing from his shop, and now he plans

on replacing the front windows with

bricks. But once again, without that

AirTag hidden inside of the car, it may

have taken police a lot longer to find

that Urus. And like I always say,

putting an AirTag in anything valuable

in your car is definitely something

valuable. So, don't forget to put one in

your car. I think it's a very overlooked

place to put an AirTag, but it's always

worth it to do so, cuz you just never

know at this point. But anyways, guys,

that is it for this week's episode of

Apple Weekly. I cannot wait for the

Worldwide Developers Conference. It's

going to be kind of quiet until then as

far as iOS updates and things like that.

As you guys know, I've not really been

posting a lot about the betas, because

there's really not a lot going on, and

I'm kind of just anticipating iOS 27 at

this point, which I'm sure a lot of you

guys are as well. But anyways, thanks

for watching, guys. If you enjoyed it,

let me know with a comment down below,

and I will see you very soon.
