Paid usage era begins
Apple had already said it would charge for expanded use of select AI features. That promise has now become a concrete product: "intelligence usage packs" tied to Apple Creator Studio apps are being offered at $50.
What it means
The packs target users who want to use Apple's AI features more heavily beyond the free limit. Apple is thus starting to position AI not only as a built-in device feature but also as a service that can be purchased separately.
Details remain limited
According to 9to5Mac, the packs are linked to Creator Studio apps. It is not yet clear which features fall under the packs, how usage limits are calculated, or whether the packs are time-based or credit-based.
