Apple has refuted Elon Musk's claims that its App Store unfairly promotes OpenAI and hinders other AI companies. In a statement to Bloomberg, Apple asserted the App Store is designed to be "fair and free of bias." Apple explained that app visibility is determined through charts, algorithmic recommendations, and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria. The company emphasized its commitment to providing safe app discovery for users and valuable opportunities for developers, while also collaborating to enhance app visibility in rapidly evolving categories. Musk, the founder of xAI, accused Apple of "unequivocal antitrust violation" and threatened legal action.
