Interesting, yes, that make sense, there should be resellers. It is not clear how much of that money ended up going to Apple and paying for the OpenAI API access. Is Apple going to get their cut from the paying customers of OpenAI, by the way?

If they are probably they won't say it

Why is act like it’s some great conspiracy? If you subscribe through the App Store, Apple gets 30%. If you don’t, Apple won’t.

no. and you won’t be able to start paying from inside the app.

You mean you won’t be able to start the subscription from the app by clicking on the “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus” right on the settings panel in the app?

How does that work with voice input? I assume dictation?

I'm not answering your question, but I just tried voice input on the ChatGPT iOS app. They integrate their whisper model to directly do speech recognition, and it is always broken for me, with "There was an unexpected error (API.API.APIError, 0)" on any input. Of course, I can also just type the mic and use the normal iOS text-to-speech in the input box, and that works fine.

they would be better off sticking with Apple’s voice to text because it’s actually pretty good.

You must be able to start the subscription from inside the app: 3.1.3(b) Multiplatform Services: Apps that operate across multiple platforms may allow users to access content, subscriptions, or features they have acquired in your app on other platforms or your web site, including consumable items in multi-platform games, provided those items are also available as in-app purchases within the app.

Exactly this, it takes a few days before the app will be indexed.

"Cold start" problems are usually not about the app being indexed, but about the recommendation/ranking system being based on what other users have clicked on or downloaded.

Give it a try - deploy your iOS app with a totally unique name and let me know if you can find it.

It won't show in search results, no matter how many pages you scroll through.

GPT-4 works great, super impressive, but I am significantly less impressed by OpenAI as a business. I'm still locked out of creating a work account because I used up the two accounts-per-phone number limit that they have hardcoded (with no way to free up one of those slots by deleting an account) and can't create a new account. Dozens of posts on their support forum about the same thing, basically impossible to get a…

I had the same issue; I did delete one of the accounts and -- still the same issue.

If you actually check, they do offer subscriptions in the app. I just downloaded it and checked it out myself. Click the … icon, then Settings, then “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus”. It’s the same price point as if you buy directly from OpenAI, but Apple gets 15% or 30%.

Why not? Isn't that the business model of OpenAI? Provide access to the APIs for wrappers that are not their own products - simple as they may. Bradgpt comes to mind

What's BradGPT?

Probably "BratGPT: The evil older sibling of ChatGPT" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35971677

They do what? They do not need to. But they ARE, because they want to. You and the other simply misunderstand that Apple rule because it's written strangely. Do YOU have first hand experience with this rule? Go do your research.
