Apple Introduces $50 Intelligence Usage Packs to Extend AI Feature Access
Apple has launched 'Intelligence Usage Packs' to allow users to bypass usage limits on certain Apple Intelligence features. These limits exist because specific tools rely on cloud-based models from partners like OpenAI and Google Gemini. The first application to implement this monetization model is Logic Pro, which offers a one-time purchase of $49.99 for additional AI assistant capabilities. The packs are tied to individual Apple Accounts and do not support Family Sharing. While unused capacity rolls over monthly, it expires 12 months after the initial purchase. Following the rollout in Logic Pro, Apple is expected to expand these paid usage options to other creator-focused applications including Final Cut Pro, Motion, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers later this month.
