"Apple is getting their 30% tax," as Bernstein tech analysts put it in a note to investors.

Apple is falling behind in AI and has made virtually little in the way of contributions to the field's open research. And yet, despite essentially doing nothing, it will undoubtedly earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year from this technology. In a fictitious scenario, ChatGPT Plus would generate almost $1.2 billion in annual income if it managed to sign up 5 million additional iOS users. By taking 30% of that, Apple would earn $360 million annually from the development of OpenAI.Tim Cook said on Apple's recent earnings call that the company will "weave" AI into its products, but cautioned that it would be "deliberate and thoughtful" in how it does so. "There's a number of issues that need to be sorted," he added. Apple has also told employees to limit their use of ChatGPT out of fear it will collect confidential information, The Wall Street Journal reported.

A record was set in the most recent quarter's revenue from services, which accounts for some of Apple's highest profit margins.Leave a Reply
