While I’m ready to pay for a premium, private AI experience, I think Apple can’t afford to charge for iPhone AI once iOS 18 rolls out.

I'm a longtime iPhone user who is dying to test all the artificial intelligence features Apple has built into iOS 18. I'm also excited about having ChatGPT integrated into iOS 18 and getting a smarter Siri assistant next year that will let me control iPhone apps. I'll also add that I'm paying for ChatGPT Plus, a subscription I'll probably keep even after iOS 18 arrives.

That's especially true if the cloud-based AI features compete directly against free AI products from rivals. I do see premium cloud-based AI experiences that might require a subscription in the future, but I'll get to that in a moment. ChatGPT Free already packs most of the features in Plus Using ChatGPT on the web without a login. One thing Apple can't offer this year is a chatbot of its own. That's why it's partnering with OpenAI to add ChatGPT to iOS 18 in some capacity.
