Siri AI could come with a paywall for power users

Apple is considering an iCloud+-based paid tier for Siri AI users who want higher usage limits.

Tim Cook said the broader Siri upgrade is still on track for later this year, but pricing and access rules have not been finalized.

The feature already appears in the iOS 27 beta, hinting at a free-and-paid AI subscription model.

The move could help Apple offset the cost of advanced AI features while catching up with rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini.
