Apple's AI plans under Apple Intelligence have sparked curiosity about potential costs for users. Currently, Apple is offering these features for free, including the use of ChatGPT, with the company absorbing server costs and striking deals for access. However, there are hints that Apple may introduce a subscription model in the future to monetize these capabilities. Potential scenarios include free usage limits for Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC) or subscription fees for external AI services. Users might need to upgrade to an Apple Intelligence+ subscription for advanced features or third-party AI tools. The possible subscription cost range is $5-10 per month, prompting questions about user willingness to pay for enhanced AI services. As Apple explores ways to monetize AI, the introduction of paid subscriptions could change the landscape of AI accessibility for consumers.
