Apple says the App Store is 'fair and free of bias' in response to Musk's legal threats
Apple has denied Elon Musk's accusation that it is favoring OpenAI in its App Store rankings, making it difficult for other AI companies to reach the top. Apple stated that the App Store is "designed to be fair and free of bias," with thousands of apps featured through various methods, including expert-curated lists. Musk, the founder of xAI, accused Apple of an "unequivocal antitrust violation" and threatened immediate legal action. However, Musk did not provide evidence to support his claims, and it was noted that other AI apps, such as DeepSeek and Perplexity, have also reached the top of their respective rankings. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded to Musk's accusations, suggesting that Musk himself manipulates "X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like." Musk dismissed Altman's response as lies.
