Apple Publishes Usage Rules for Intelligence Usage Packs in Terms of Service

Posted As of

Apple's terms page explains how Intelligence Usage Packs work. They are used for related features only after the monthly limit is reached, unused usage carries over to the next month, and they are supported in 8 countries.

What happened

  • Source: Apple Legal Notices page (Intelligence Usage Packs)
  • Packs are used for related features only after the one-month usage limit is reached
  • Unused usage carries over on a monthly basis
  • Supported countries: Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States
  • The terms page does not give the $49.99 price or the amount of extra usage a pack adds
  • Press reports cited a $49.99 price and expiry 12 months after purchase, but we could not confirm these in an Apple support document

Our take

For users who use Apple features on a Mac, the key point is that packs apply only after the monthly limit is reached. However, whether they affect AI tasks that run locally, and how much extra use one pack provides, are not confirmed in official material. Price and expiry rules should be judged after checking them against Apple's support documents.
