Apple Intelligence is free, but the company has found an ingenious way to make money without charging

Apple has already found the initial formula to monetize the use of AI within its devices without compromising Apple Intelligence, it will do so with the help of ChatGPT and others

Using ChatGPT as an alternative to Apple Intelligence on iPhone

Those from Cupertino are working at full speed to have Apple Intelligence ready for users who already have their new iPhone 16 and those who have the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, between iPad and Mac with M series chips and recently the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip. The beta of iOS 18.2 hinted at something very interesting regarding future monetization that could benefit Apple without charging for your AI directly.

Apple will increase its revenue from services, now with AI in iOS 18.2 thanks to ChatGPT

Although at iPadizate we have told you that Apple intends to have payment functions, there is still a long way to go for that. While Apple’s AI is strengthened and finds its best version with all the new features announced, apparently a way to start making money has already been found through the same artificial intelligence. It is known throughout the world that Apple’s range of services has positioned it as one of the best companies in terms of profitability. They will not be left behind in this regard and will benefit by charging ChatGPT Plus.

Remember that the requests that the user makes through Apple Intelligence could be supported by ChatGPT as long as the user himself provides his consent. This is completely free but in the iOS 18.2 beta the option to upgrade to the Plus version of OpenAI was added. This option is under paid subscription for which they will begin to obtain commissions for each user who accepts.

It would not be the only paid AI in Apple Intelligence, so those from Cupertino will earn even more

Remember when it was said that Apple would not pay OpenAI for the use of ChatGPT? Plans for that deal with the ChatGPT Plus subscription are already being seen. Those from Cupertino have the largest advertising showcase without promoting paid Apple Intelligence, instead They let other AI engines promote themselves to get something in return.

AI extension options on iPhone

If Google Gemini were to be integrated, Apple could similarly benefit from offering this AI as an alternative. and also offer the paid subscription for which you would obtain profits for each subscription. And there’s already a hint that Apple will enable more AI engines. In the beta of iOS 18.2 where ChatGPT is configured there is a category called Extensions.

Another reality, which for the moment is hidden from users, is that Apple will learn from its competitors. We don’t know to what extent Apple works with OpenAI and ChatGPT when integrating with Apple Intelligence. We assume that those from Cupertino are taking note of this collaboration so that in the future their AI is strengthened and they begin to prepare the ground for future payment functions. When will we see more AI services integrated within Apple Intelligence?
