Google pokes a banana-shaped hole in Musk’s claims of Apple’s bias towards OpenAI

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-27 13:15:08

A few weeks ago, a frustrated Elon Musk sued Apple, claiming that the company’s pro-OpenAI bias made it impossible for other AI companies to rise to the top of the App Store.
