OpenAI's ChatGPT app for Mac now integrates with coding apps like Xcode, VS Code, TextEdit, and Terminal, allowing developers to send code directly to ChatGPT. The new feature, Work with Apps, was demonstrated by TechCrunch, showing how ChatGPT could add missing elements to a simple project in Xcode. However, the integration is not as deep as GitHub's Copilot integration with Xcode, as ChatGPT uses the macOS Accessibility API for screen readers and cannot interpret images or videos. The feature is available for ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Teams users, with support for Enterprise and Edu users coming soon.
In other news, Apple has released firmware updates for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, and is set to release iOS 18.2 next month with major AI advancements. The iPhone SE 4's camera modules are set to enter mass production in December, while the iPhone 17 "Air" may not be as thin as planned. Apple is also expected to announce a Final Cut Pro update this week and plans to launch an AI-powered smart home display by March 2025.
