Elon Musk recently raised concerns about Apple's App Store allegedly ignoring his "X" and Grok AI app. Musk questioned why his apps were not featured in the Must-Have section despite their popularity and success. In response, Apple defended their App Store's fairness and lack of bias, emphasizing their commitment to offering a safe and objective platform for app discovery.
The App Store features a variety of apps based on charts, algorithmic recommendations, and curated lists selected by experts. While Musk's apps were not listed among the top-rated or recommended categories, Apple maintained that their selection process is guided by transparent and unbiased criteria.
Despite Musk's claims of favoritism towards ChatGPT due to Apple's partnership with OpenAI, evidence suggests that other AI apps have also received recognition on the platform. Competitors like DeepSeek and Perplexity have topped the charts in various regions, indicating a diverse range of AI app representation on the App Store.
