Apple may charge “monthly fees” for advanced Apple Intelligence features — “Though Apple Intelligence will be free to start, the long-term plan is to make money off the capabilities,” said the report. “The company could eventually launch something like Apple Intelligence+ — with extra features that users pay monthly fees for, just like iCloud,” it added.
