Depending on your age, you might recall a time not too far in the past when "AI" signified what is known as "AGI" today. Large language models are now considered to be "AI" in a world where there has been a radical rebranding in the meantime. However, "AI" also refers to Apple Intelligence because the Cupertino business could not resist using the term for its purposes.


Furthermore, since its June launch, Apple Intelligence has gained immense popularity. It's running behind schedule; the initial components are now only scheduled to arrive in October, one month beyond the original delivery date. But since it can't stay free forever, many analysts are wondering how much it will cost.

They have thus begun to speculate. irrationally. As part of the Apple One bundle of services, there appears to be a consensus among speculators that points to $20 per month, or possibly less.

Remember, this is not a leak. Not even a rumor exists. Just reporting on what arbitrary analysts think Apple could charge for "AI" is the source that is cited below. And that's it.

Even though these rumors are completely speculative, nobody would be shocked if Apple did decide to charge $20 or even more per month. It doesn't operate with cheap prices for anything, after all; it has its bottom line to consider and a premium reputation to maintain.
