Apple's upcoming iOS 26 introduces GPT-5 to Apple Intelligence, here's a rundown of the key details.
The much-anticipated iPhone 17 series is set to make its debut, coinciding with the integration of GPT-5 into Apple's AI system, Apple Intelligence. This integration is expected to revolutionise the user experience across Apple devices, including iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, which are anticipated to be released around early September 2025.
GPT-5, developed by OpenAI, is set to bring significant enhancements to Apple Intelligence. The upgrades will focus on improved reasoning, coding, and writing tools, enhanced voice mode, new personalities, and integration with Google apps. Additionally, the integration will enable features like Visual Intelligence for image-based queries, Writing Tools for text editing and generation, and Live Translation for real-time multilingual conversation interpretation within FaceTime and Messages.
One of the key benefits of GPT-5 is its improved reasoning and coding skills, enabling more sophisticated responses and assistance in tasks involving programming or complex problems. The enhanced voice interaction and video perception, including an enhanced Voice Mode and advanced multimodal AI capabilities, will make Apple Intelligence more versatile and responsive.
GPT-5 will also offer new AI personalities and theming options, providing more conversational variety and customisation. Users can choose from personalities like Cynic, Listener, Nerd, and Robot. The Live Translation functionality will facilitate real-time multilingual conversation interpretation, enhancing communication across languages.
Visual Intelligence upgrades systemwide will improve content searching and the ability to answer visual queries using device cameras. This feature will be available on recent iPhone and iPad models. Privacy protections, including obscured IP addresses and no storage of user requests by OpenAI, will ensure that user data remains secure, consistent with Apple’s privacy standards.
GPT-5 will be available in multiple versions, including free tiers (GPT-5 mini, nano) and professional tiers (GPT-5 Pro, GPT-5 Thinking) for deeper reasoning at an additional cost. The stable versions of the integration are expected to be released next month.
