In brief

Logic Pro gets paid AI access

logicpro

Apple updated Logic Pro with an option to buy more usage of Apple Intelligence features for a one-time purchase price of forty nine dollars and ninety nine cents.

Why some features have limits

Intelligence Usage Packs let users access Apple Intelligence features that have usage limits because they rely on cloud-based AI models from OpenAI or Google Gemini.

How the packs work

Packs can only be used by the Apple Account that purchased them. Family Sharing is not supported. Unused usage rolls over month to month but expires twelve months after purchase.

More apps coming this month

Apple expects to add the buy more usage option to other Creator Studio apps this month, including Pixelmator Pro, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
