Apple has added an option to Logic Pro to purchase additional usage of certain Apple Intelligence features for a one-time price of $49.99. Spotted by 9to5Mac, this update comes after the company published a support article in early September outlining the usage limits for these features.
- Apple vend des packs d’usage unique à 49,99 $ pour prolonger certaines fonctions d’IA.
- Pour l’instant, seul l’assistant IA de Logic Pro est concerné.
- Apple prévoit d’étendre cette offre à d’autres applications de sa suite.
- Chaque pack n’est utilisable que par l’Apple ID qui l’a acheté et expire après 12 mois.
Apple calls these offers “Intelligence Usage Packs.” They allow users to continue accessing certain Apple Intelligence features that are subject to limits, as they rely on AI models hosted in the cloud, meaning they run on remote servers provided by OpenAI or Google Gemini.
An AI assistant built into Logic Pro
Logic Pro, the brand’s music software, features a built-in AI assistant. According to Apple, it can “start a new song, create a vocal track from a single instruction, or refine an existing project.” For this app, the usage limit is, according to the company, “influenced by the complexity of your conversations with the assistant.”
Users who reach the end of their quota can purchase a pack from the app’s main menu, under “Intelligence Features,” then “Show Usage.” The packs come with several conditions. They can only be used by the Apple ID that purchased them, with family sharing not supported. According to Apple’s support site, unused additional usage rolls over from month to month but expires 12 months after purchase.
An extension to other applications
For now, Logic Pro is the only app offering this purchase option. However, Apple plans to extend it to other apps in its Apple Creator Studio suite, including Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Motion, as well as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. These last three productivity apps are also set to gain access to Apple’s AI chatbot, as reported by The Verge.
The operation of these packs, which only apply to certain features subject to limits, is therefore defined by the terms published by Apple on its support site.
