Perplexity opens Comet preorder on iOS

This is Perplexity’s clearest attempt to turn mobile browsing into an action layer, not just a place to read webpages.

• –The feature set reads assistant-first: summarize across tabs, chat by voice, block distractions, and let Comet handle chores in-browser.
• –The iOS 18 requirement suggests Perplexity is optimizing for a modern Apple baseline instead of maximizing backward compatibility.
• –Free download plus in-app purchases keeps the entry point low while leaving room for premium AI usage or subscription upsells.
• –Mobile agentic browsing is harder than desktop because speed, trust, and visible actions matter more when the assistant lives inside a phone browser.
