According to Musk, the iPhone maker is allegedly promoting OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT while ignoring his Grok app and the social media platform X, by not featuring them in the \u201cMust Have\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"419\" data-end=\"566\">He claims that integrating ChatGPT into iOS is evidence of bias, and that users should be given a choice \u2014 for example, between Grok and ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><code class=\"EmbedCode-code\">Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation.<\/code><\/p>\n<p>xAI will take immediate legal action.<\/p>\n<p><code class=\"EmbedCode-code\">\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1955073616996975095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 12, 2025<\/a><\/code><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><code class=\"EmbedCode-code\"><\/code><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1231\">Although X tops the free news app rankings and holds 38th place among all free apps, and Grok ranks sixth overall and second in the \u201cProductivity\u201d category, Musk believes Apple is preventing them from climbing higher. Users added context notes under Musk\u2019s post pointing out that companies like DeepSeek and Perplexity have already overtaken ChatGPT several times even after OpenAI\u2019s partnership with Apple.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1543\">Musk also noted that TikTok, Tinder, Duolingo, YouTube, and ChatGPT are prominently promoted in App Store\u2019s featured sections, while Grok never appears there. The X social network is also excluded from curated lists like \u201cEverything for Social Media\u201d or other themed collections, even in the \u201cNews\u201d category.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1842\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Apple has not commented on whether it has held talks with xAI, and it is unclear whether Grok\u2019s absence from \u201cMust Have\u201d is related to App Store privacy policy compliance. Download rankings are generated automatically rather than manually, and ChatGPT currently outperforms Grok in its category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150074,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[31529,31527,31528],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150073","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti","newstag-companynewsbusinessnewscorporateupdatesleadershipchangesmergersandacquisitionsmarketmovements","newstag-novynykompanijbiznesnovynyrynkytransformacziyabiznesu","newstag-novostykompanyjbyznesnovostykorporatyvnenovostysmenarukovodstvaslyyanyyaypogloshhenyyarnkyykompanyy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150073"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150073"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
