OREANDA-NEWS Apple will provide some artificial intelligence (AI) features as part of a paid subscription. This is reported by Bloomberg.

According to the agency's columnist Mark Gurman, the company is considering charging for some advanced artificial intelligence functions. At the same time, the basic options of the Apple Intelligence service, which will appear in iOS 18, will remain free.

Gurman stated that Apple and OpenAI have agreed that the chat bot ChatGPT will be available on smartphones, tablets and computers for free. However, both companies can charge money for some advanced features. Mark Gurman believes that these features may be part of a paid iCloud+ subscription — along with access to Apple Music, advanced cloud storage and other offers.

The specialist explained that Apple has experience in selling digital services to its users. First of all, we are talking about subscriptions to the Apple Music service, the Apple TV+ online cinema, and iCloud cloud storage.

At the end of June, it became clear that Apple had postponed the launch of artificial intelligence (AI) services in Europe due to the European Union (EU). European officials believe that the new tools of the American company will violate the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
