ChatGPT Mac App Not Working? How to Fix It (2026)

Update, June 28, 2026: A second supply chain attack has triggered another forced update of the ChatGPT Mac app. macOS began blocking new downloads and launches of any ChatGPT, Codex, Codex CLI, or Atlas build signed with the previous certificate on June 12, 2026, and OpenAI set a hard deadline of June 26, 2026 to move every Mac to a re-signed build. The fix below works for both this incident and the earlier May 8 one. The ChatGPT Mac app has now broken twice in two months for the same reason, and the most recent break carries a hard deadline. After a supply chain attack on the TanStack open-source library […]

Who Created ChatGPT? The Full Story Behind OpenAI

ChatGPT was created by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company founded on December 11, 2015 by Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Elon Musk, Wojciech Zaremba, John Schulman and a small group of researchers. ChatGPT itself was built by OpenAI’s research team and launched publicly on November 30, 2022. It reached 1 million users in 5 days and 100 million monthly users in 2 months, the fastest consumer product adoption in history at that point. The short answer is “OpenAI built it,” but the longer answer is more interesting. ChatGPT did not appear out of nowhere. It sat on top of a decade of work, a controversial Elon Musk exit, […]

How to Cancel ChatGPT Subscription in 2026: iPhone, Android, and Web

The number one reason ChatGPT cancellations “don’t work” has nothing to do with OpenAI’s website. It’s that ChatGPT runs on three separate billing systems, and most people try to cancel in the wrong one. If you signed up on iPhone, Apple bills you. If you signed up on Android, Google bills you. If you signed up on chatgpt.com, OpenAI bills you. Cancel in the wrong place and your subscription keeps charging, whether it’s Plus at $20/month or Pro at $200/month. This guide covers every cancellation path that exists in 2026, across every paid tier. The same iPhone, Android, and web steps work for Plus, Pro, and Go, since they all […]

ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini on Mac: Which Native Desktop App Wins in 2026?

For the first time ever, Mac users can install all three flagship AI apps natively. Google’s Gemini for Mac shipped on April 15, 2026, and that closes the gap with ChatGPT and Claude, which have had polished native apps on macOS for over a year. Three apps, three different philosophies, and exactly one Dock you have to share between them. Google has since started rolling out its Gemini 3.5 family, with Gemini 3.5 Flash on the free tier while Gemini 3.1 Pro stays the paid consumer flagship inside the app. This is the first month a real three-way comparison is even possible, so we ran ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini side […]

WWDC 2026 runs June 8 to 12, with the keynote on Monday, June 8 at 10am Pacific Time streamed on Apple.com, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. Apple sent media invites on May 18, 2026 confirming the full schedule, and on May 23 quietly registered a new genai.apple.com subdomain that almost nobody outside MacRumors has spotted. This year’s keynote is the most consequential AI moment Apple has ever had. On January 12, 2026, Apple and Google jointly announced that the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be built on a custom 1.2-trillion-parameter Google Gemini model. Apple is reportedly paying around $1 billion per year for it. […]

iPad for AI in 2026: Which Model Should You Buy?

Apple’s 2026 iPad lineup splits cleanly into four models, but only three of them can actually run Apple Intelligence, and the gap between the cheapest iPad for AI and the iPad Pro M5 is now over $650. The base iPad 11 ($349) still ships with the A16 chip and 6GB of RAM, which means no on-device generative AI features at all. Above it sit the iPad mini ($499), the iPad Air M4 ($599), and the iPad Pro M5 ($999), each unlocking a different level of AI performance. This guide breaks down every iPad you can buy in April 2026, what kind of AI on iPad each one can realistically handle, […]
