iOS 27 launched this week, bringing several new Apple Intelligence-related benefits for iCloud+ subscribers.

iCloud+ gives iOS 27 users higher AI usage limits, plus new Home features. Many new Apple Intelligence features arrived in iOS 27, but some come with daily usage limits because they rely on "powerful server models." While all features are available free, iCloud+ subscribers gain higher usage limits. Per Apple's press release: "Some Apple Intelligence features, including image generation, have daily usage limits because they rely on powerful server models. Increased access is available with most iCloud+ subscription plans, which also include Apple Intelligence support for compatible Home cameras." Presumably the cheapest $0.99/month plan is excluded, but specifics aren't confirmed. Other iCloud+ tiers or Apple One subscribers get more leeway with advanced AI features like image generation.

Additionally, the Home app in iOS 27 has AI features for iCloud+ subscribers via HomeKit Secure Video upgrades. Compatible cameras get AI video descriptions, clip search, and automatic surfacing of noteworthy clips. Apple also expanded iCloud+ to include free Apple TV and Apple Arcade in much of the world outside the US.
