Apple CEO Tim Cook suggested the company may offer a paid upgrade tier within iCloud Plus that would let users increase their limits on using Apple Intelligence and Siri AI (Apple's voice assistant that can answer questions and control apps). Apple plans to launch an improved version of Siri this fall with iOS 27, including a new ChatGPT-like interface (a text-based AI chat similar to OpenAI's popular tool).
