Apple has capitalized on the AI boom by charging companies like OpenAI and Google fees to access users through the App Store, generating nearly $1 billion last year. Approximately 75% of this revenue was derived from ChatGPT, which has 900 million weekly active users. Despite a peak in revenue from AI apps, sales have declined due to a drop in ChatGPT downloads. Apple is projected to exceed $1 billion in AI revenue this year, leveraging its position as a gatekeeper for over 2.5 billion active devices.
