Mark Gurman weighs in on paid Apple Intelligence, saying it’s coming in the very long term
Taking into account the reports of the analysts who provide the subscription or paid by Apple Intelligence which emerged last week, Mark Gurman addressed this topic in his Power On newsletter stating that It’s true even if it won’t happen as soon as you think about it.The Bloomberg columnist believes that It will be like this even if it will take at least 3 years for it to happenalso depending on the growth of Apple’s AI.
Using the best of Apple Intelligence will be possible in the short term
Recall that Apple Intelligence is one of the most important announcements from Cupertino in many years, which took place at WWDC 2024. includes a major overhaul of Siri, Image Playgroundthe ability to create images from queries, among other features built into native Apple and third-party appsWhat is striking is that these functions will be performed from the device itself and will not require a cloud, at least initially.
Logic is powerful and it makes us think about what Apple couldn’t expect to charge in the short term for something that just came out. Furthermore, we must consider that Apple Intelligence will not be released in final version but in beta version in October. It is also not known how long the beta phase will last, knowing that in 2025 they will continue to launch the complement of all the functions presented.
Apple Intelligence and its future features could be paid
Mark Gurman weighs in on the topic, saying Apple will release new features in the next 3 yearsIn the meantime, what is necessary will be developed to be able to launch a paid subscription. What is known so far about Apple Intelligence will be free after a few years where we will have all the functions, compatibility with the Spanish language and the required stability.
Apple to launch series of devices compatible with Apple Intelligence
The downside, which we at least think no one has noticed or thought about until now, is the compatible devices. While it is true that those from Cupertino have been criticized for not bringing Apple Intelligence to other recent products, They themselves will have to provide devices accessible to users to use their AI.
iOS 18.1 Beta 1 for iPhone Arrives with Apple Intelligence
This will also take time and It would be totally incongruous to charge for a technology that is not available in the vast majority of devices.. At the time of Apple Intelligence release, only 4 iPhone models will be compatible; 2 new generation and 2 previous models, on the Mac and iPad side there is a little more compatibility at the device level but these are not the stellar devices where we expect to exploit the best of Apple Intelligence.
If everything goes as Gurman said, Until 2027, we will not have official news on an Apple AI payment method. At least it won’t happen until it’s a powerful, stable AI that’s compatible with more iPhones.
