Learn about Apple Intelligence usage limits

Some Apple Intelligence features rely on powerful server-side models and have usage limits to ensure a high-quality, reliable experience for everyone.

Starting with the 2027 software releases, users can experience the next generation of Apple Intelligence, with enhanced access to features that rely on server-side models. These features include but aren't limited to:

• Siri AI

• Intelligent Photo Editing Tools including Clean Up, Extend, and Spatial Reframing

• Image Playground

• AFM 3 Cloud and AFM 3 Cloud Pro Models in Shortcuts

• Developer apps using Apple Foundation Models in Private Cloud Compute

In the future, Apple will implement usage limits on these and other Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features to ensure a high-quality, reliable experience for everyone. If you reach a limit in a particular feature, that feature will become available again after a time out period. Limits may vary by feature, request complexity, system demand, system policies, and other factors. Increased access to such features will be available for a fee.

Some Apple Intelligence features in the Home app, such as video summaries, are available for a limited number of cameras depending on your iCloud+ plan — up to 1 camera in the 2 TB plan, up to 2 cameras in the 6 TB plan, and up to 5 cameras in the 12 TB plan. Supported camera counts and other iCloud+ plan features may change over time.

Use of Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features will at all times be subject to the Apple Intelligence Terms and Conditions.
