Depending on how old you are, you may remember that not so long ago, “AI” meant what we now call “AGI.” In the meantime, there’s been a wild rebranding and here we are, living in a world where “AI” is big language models. But “AI” is also Apple Intelligencebecause the Cupertino company couldn’t resist hijacking the abbreviation for its own use.
And Apple Intelligence has been all the rage since its announcement in June. Sure, it is delayed and the first bits and pieces are only now expected in Octobera month after its initially planned release. But the question that seems to be on the minds of many analysts is how much it will cost, since it apparently can’t stay free forever.
So, they’ve been speculating. Wildly. And apparently a consensus of speculation has been reached, and it points to $20 a month, or maybe less as part of the Apple One service bundle.
This isn’t a leak, mind you. It’s not even a rumor. The source linked below is just reporting what random analysts think Apple could be costs for “AI”. That’s all.
Of course, while this speculation is completely unfounded, no one would be the least bit surprised if Apple decided to pay $20 a month, or even more. After all, the company has to think about profits and maintain a premium reputation, and that doesn’t involve low prices for anything.
