A new hack has emerged, allowing the ‘Action Button’ to be repurposed as a ChatGPT-powered voice assistant, sidelining Siri.

Tech enthusiasts are rejoicing over this innovative workaround, providing an alternative AI experience on their beloved devices.

This groundbreaking method, gaining traction across forums and social media, involves simple yet effective steps to replace Siri’s dominance with ChatGPT. Users can now seamlessly interact with their iPhones using natural language, capitalising on ChatGPT’s superior conversational abilities.

With privacy concerns in the tech landscape, users are questioning the security implications of this modification. Will Apple respond with updates to counter this shift in user preference, or will ChatGPT become the default choice for iPhone users?

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.

Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.

On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.

Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.

The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
