Anthropic Claude beats OpenAI ChatGPT, dominates US App Store list amid dispute with Pentagon
Anthropic’s Claude AI app has become the most downloaded free app on Apple’s US app chart late Saturday, marking a dramatic rise just one day after a high-profile clash with the Trump administration over military use of its technology. According to data from analytics firm Sensor Tower, Claude’s iOS app climbed from 131 position in late January to fluctuating within the top 20 for much of February before claiming the top spot in the past few hours.
On the other hand, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which had dominated the first position for most of the month, slipped to the second spot, while Google’s Gemini held on to the fourth spot.
