Apple shares more details about Apple Intelligence usage limits and terms

Apple has released a new support article detailing the usage limits, terms, and restrictions of Apple Intelligence. At WWDC26, the company announced some images, including image generation, would have usage limits due to reliance on powerful server models. Apple reaffirmed these limitations during the "Surprise and Shine" event, but didn't provide further details. Now, the article offers more information.

Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models and may have usage limits include: video summaries in the Home app, which are available depending on your iCloud+ plan (up to 1 camera for 2 TB, up to 2 for 6 TB, and up to 5 for 12 TB). The company notes that limits may vary based on feature, request complexity, system demand, and other factors. Users can pay for increased access to these features.

The Apple Intelligence Usage Terms outline restrictions on excessive or abusive use, availability and device requirements, age restrictions, and enforcement of violations. Unreasonable use, including anything that impacts service availability or other users, may be restricted, throttled, suspended, or lead to a termination of access.

Apple can investigate and take action against violations, including restricting, suspending, or terminating access to Apple Intelligence Features. Continued use of Apple Intelligence after changes in the Usage Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Users can learn more about the Apple Intelligence usage terms on Apple's website.
