OpenAI recorded yet another major service disruption on Thursday. ChatGPT experienced an outage just hours after OpenAI announced its integration with iPhone, iPad, and Mac, rendering the service inaccessible worldwide.

Users with Apple Intelligence-capable iPhones running iOS 18.2 can now open Siri, ask it to analyze documents, and send tasks directly to ChatGPT for more detailed processing. That's provided they've gone to Settings on the iPhone to enable ChatGPT usage.

As part of its "12 days of OpenAI" event, the Sam Altman-led company gave further details on its ChatGPT integration into Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) products. ChatGPT can be accessed via the operating system (either anonymously or with an account),

In CEO Sam Altman's own words, the company will "have a livestream with a launch or demo, some big ones and some stocking stuffers." Sora dropping on day three is probably the biggest of all the announcements so far.

Visual Intelligence refers to a new feature for the iPhone 16 lineup that users can access by tapping the Camera Control button. Once the camera is open, users can point it at something and search the web with Google, or use ChatGPT to learn more about what they are viewing or perform other tasks such as translating or summarizing text.
