After Samsung, Apple Might Ask You to Pay for Its AI Features

Jul. 1, 2024

“If it all comes together, Apple could find itself in a strong position in a few years. The company will be less reliant on hardware tweaks to drive its business and will actually be making money from AI — something everyone in Silicon Valley is hoping to pull off.”- Mark Gurman

Gurman also states that if Apple starts making its own AI features another service revenue stream, it could allow the company to compensate for its unapologetically slow pace of hardware upgrades. Ultimately, Apple would rely less on hardware tweaks to drive its business.

It’s worth knowing that Apple has turned down the AI partnership with FaceBook over privacy concerns. Meanwhile, the Cupertino tech giant is seeking a partnership for the Chinese markets, where ChatGPT and other AI services are not available.
