Most of the generative AI services on the market today are free to use. However, to truly take advantage of the capabilities of this generative artificial intelligence technology, many offer paid plans.
For Apple, a few months ago they were reported to be planning to introduce a paid plan for Apple Intelligence. In this plan, existing features will remain free but new and exciting features may be charged. However, according to Tim Cook in an interview with WIRED – Apple never planned to charge for their AI features.
On the contrary, Apple sees these AI features as touch screen technology which is a new revolution for modern smartphones and tablets. So how will Apple make money with AI? It has been reported that Apple will offer an AI app store, or perhaps paid features that Apple already offers such as iCloud+, Apple TV+ and others that will be integrated with AI.
