Let’s not beat around the bush: Apple Intelligence’s debut? Not exactly a home run. It’s been catching flak for playing catch-up with giants like ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot. But plot twist – people are still here for it. According to a Morgan Stanley survey (courtesy of MacRumors), a whopping 80% are willing to pay for Apple’s AI. That’s not just interest; that’s ‘take my money’ territory. 🚀
Breaking it down: nearly a third would happily pay $10-$14.99 a month, and over a fifth are game for $15 or more. The naysayers? A mere 14%, with 6% undecided. But here’s the real headline: 42% see Apple Intelligence as non-negotiable for their next iPhone. And for those eyeing an upgrade within the year? That figure skyrockets to 54%. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. 💰
Sure, the launch hasn’t been smooth sailing. Missing features, delays – you name it. But here’s the thing: the average Joe and Jane might not care as much as the critics think. Whether it’s blind faith or just love for the brand, the appetite is there. And it’s huge.
Bottom line? Apple Intelligence might be stumbling out of the gate, but it’s got legs. With this level of consumer enthusiasm, the sky’s the limit. For Apple, the message is clear: keep pushing. Because when four out of five potential customers are ready to fork over cash, you’re onto something big.
