X and SpaceXAI have filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss (with prejudice) their claims against Apple in the antitrust lawsuit they brought against the company and OpenAI, reports 9to5Mac.
From the filing:
Plaintiffs have resolved their claims in this Action against Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”).
Plaintiffs accordingly move under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) to dismiss with prejudice their claims against Apple. Apple does not oppose this Motion.
For the avoidance of doubt, Plaintiffs do not seek to dismiss any of their claims against Defendants OpenAl Foundation (f/k/a OpenAl, Inc.); OpenAl, L.L.C.; and OpenAI OpCo, LLC.
The court filing provided no specific details or reasons for dropping Apple from the suit. Filed initially in August 2025, the lawsuit accused Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to lock up generative AI and smartphone markets.
Plaintiffs claimed Apple rigged App Store rankings and integration features to unfairly privilege ChatGPT over xAI’s Grok. Apple maintained its integration was non-exclusive and rankings were unbiased, while OpenAI labeled the suit a campaign of “lawfare.”
