Apple charges $50 for extended AI feature access in Creator Studio

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Apple is now offering $50 "intelligence usage packs" for users of its Creator Studio applications who exceed monthly limits on certain AI features. Logic Pro is the first application to support these packs, allowing users to continue utilizing its AI assistant for tasks like song creation and project refinement after reaching their initial quota. These packs are tied to individual Apple accounts, with unused usage rolling over for up to 12 months, and are expected to be extended to other Creator Studio apps like Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro.
