Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 18.2 with a new built-in ChatGPT integration. Not long after, ChatGPT and other OpenAI services went down in a major outage. OpenAI has published a post-mortem on the December 11 outage that plagued its services with over four hours of downtime. The official explanation rules out a direct iOS 18.2 cause, stating that the issue stemmed from a new telemetry service deployment that unintentionally overwhelmed the Kubernetes control plane.
