Siri AI may require a paid subscription for heavy users

On Tim Cook’s final earnings call before formally resigning as Apple’s CEO, artificial intelligence was a hot topic of conversation. The investor community is interested in Siri AI’s potential to boost iPhone upgrades, and at the same time concerned about what it means for Apple’s rising capital expenditure costs.

Cook suggested that the financial outlook for Siri AI is still unclear, but did mention in passing that heavy users of Siri AI will be faced with an iCloud+ subscription paywall.
