Apple states that newly announced AI-powered features for the Apple Home app require the 2TB iCloud+ plan. Multiple reports tie the requirement to Apple’s announcements from WWDC 2026, and note that Apple does not offer separate AI subscriptions or token-based purchases for these functions. According to the cited macOS Golden Gate beta release notes, users who want access to “Apple Home AI” must be on the 2TB tier, whether subscribing individually to iCloud+ or including the tier through a bundle. The 2TB iCloud+ plan is listed as $10 per month. For customers using bundles, the requirement is also met by Apple One Premier, which includes 2TB iCloud+ at a reported price of $37.95 per month. Overall, the coverage agrees that the primary barrier to using the AI Home features is upgrading to the 2TB iCloud+ service level, rather than buying additional AI-related add-ons.
