Need more AI in Creator Studio? Apple may charge you for it

ZDNET’s key takeaways

• Apple will charge a $50 fee for AI tools with usage packs.
• Apple becomes the latest company to offer paid options for AI features.
• Unlike other paid AI features, Apple is offering a one-time fee instead of a subscription.

There are plenty of AI subscriptions out there, but Apple’s AI features are among the few still accessible by simply purchasing a device. Now, Apple is shifting its business model by offering a one-time $50 purchase option to grant server-based AI capacity in some apps, starting with Creator Studio apps.

Apple is introducing a one-time purchase option for AI Usage Packs via app updates to Creator Studio. If you want expanded access to AI features in Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, the iWork Suite, and Logic Pro, you’ll need to pay.
