US EditionPerplexity AI 'Comet' browser for iPhone now available
Comet offers AI-powered search and chat with features like summarizing, shopping, and scheduling but lacks a native iPad app and third-party extensions on iPhone.
- Perplexity released the Comet AI browser for iPhone today after delaying its March 11 launch by one week, and it is now available on the App Store.
- As part of a broader product push, Perplexity is expanding Comet, which focuses on Perplexity-powered search and chat and first launched on the Mac last summer alongside Personal Computer AI agent.
- Features include summarization, shopping, scheduling, research, unified AI search, instant context, automation, and highlight use of Apple's Liquid Glass technology in the Comet for iPhone listing.
- Privacy concerns arise as Perplexity disclosed it collects customer data for ad targeting and uses income-earning auto affiliate links, while reviewers urged caution about scams.
- Apple's platform rules mean MacStories and Federico Viticci noted iOS limitations like no third-party extensions and no native iPad version this March.
