The case, originally filed by law firm Hagens Berman on behalf of plaintiff Steven Floyd, alleged that Apple and Amazon conspired to limit third-party sellers to keep iPhone and iPad prices artificially high.
The suit hinges on Apple Intelligence, the company’s new AI assistant, which integrates ChatGPT as a fallback when Siri cannot answer a query. Apple has denied any wrongdoing, stressing that its integration with OpenAI does not exclude others.
