Apple Intelligence may introduce a paid tier

Apple may start charging for at least some of the AI features of Apple Intelligence. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, although Apple Intelligence will be free when it launches as part of iOS 18, Apple has long-term plans to monetize the new AI capabilities, in an effort to make up the shortfall from declining device sales. We may end up seeing a two-tier system for Apple Intelligence, with free standard features plus additional features that come with a subscription fee.
