Apple Intelligence: We already said that it will not be free. But here is how much it can cost.

We already know that the more advanced features of Apple Intelligence might come with a price. Now Apple analysts are predicting what that price might be.

Neil Shah, a partner at Counterpoint Research, said CNBC that premium AI features could cost between $10 and $20 for a monthly subscription. “The software and services make it more lucrative for Apple to go with the Apple One subscription model,” Shah told the outlet.

Therefore, certain access to Apple Intelligence could be bundled in the Apple One subscription as a higher subscription level. Apple One starts at $19.95 a month and includes Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, which are premium versions of free Apple services. From this point of view, a paid Apple Intelligence subscription fits the freemium model it uses with others. “Apple is one of the few connected device companies that has successfully monetized the value-added services it offers,” CCS Insight chief researcher Ben Wood told CNBC.

According to previous reports, Apple is exploring Apple Intelligence+ to get a cut of subscription revenue with its AI partners like OpenAI. It would also be a way to offset the costs of investing in AI, which isn’t great.

The timing of this is uncertain. Even some of the Apple Intelligence features announced at this year’s WWDC won’t be available until next year. That includes functions related to the reformulation of Siri’s AI, such as understanding personal context and awareness on the screen.

However, there are some Apple Intelligence features that you can try out now through the iOS 18.1 developer beta. Writing Tools, Call Recording, and some new AI-powered Siri features are available to try out. And they are free – for now.
