Paid Apple Intelligence features expected to debut after three years: Mark Gurman

Little that is known to an ordinary technology geek about the paid features of Apple Intelligence is that they will cost somewhere around $20 a month. 

While the above-mentioned development was brought to light by some leakers, other tipsters have now taken to assert that the paid features of Apple Intelligence will be offered free of cost for three years. 

This claim has been made by a trustworthy Bloomberg correspondent and a tech reporter who intensively covers everything around Apple and its product releases: Mark Gurman.

Aimed at addressing concerns about the paid Apple Intelligence features, Gurman in his recent Power On newsletter said Apple charging for some premium Apple Intelligence features is in sight, but too far.

Apple Intelligence premium features in the making

Apple introduced Apple Intelligence and its baseline features at the WWDC 2024, which includes a new Siri, Genmoji, and Image Playground, alongside various other features augmenting its overall experience.

Most of these features will be running on-device, as Apple has just ventured into the domain of AI and eyeing to accomplish further expansions for its portfolio. Apple's rookie existence in this arena could be taken as another reason why it's less likely to begin charging for basic AI capabilities at the very initial stage.

Gurman believes that Apple is expected to fatten the pack of Apple Intelligence features with advanced ones, and those could be the actual paid Apple Intelligence features.
