Apple may charge more for heavy iCloud+ AI usage

Apple indicated it may charge users additional fees if they use Siri AI features heavily, potentially via add-on upgrade packages for iCloud+. CEO Tim Cook referenced the possibility during the company's latest quarterly results call. iCloud+ subscribers (likely starting with the €3 tier) are expected to receive larger AI request quotas once Siri AI launches in the autumn, while non-subscribers will face restrictions. Siri AI adds chat functionality and new image-generation features that increase server compute; Apple bought servers from Google for the Gemini model that underlies its new AI. Apple has not finalized pricing or package details and says it will evaluate customer uptake; more concrete price information is expected around September. iPhone and iPad users in the EU may not initially have access to Siri AI.
