Apple Adds 2 iCloud+ Perks in iOS 27 as AI Limits Rise on Paid Plans

Summary
iOS 27 will give paying iCloud+ subscribers two new benefits at no extra cost: higher daily access to some Apple Intelligence features and new AI tools for HomeKit Secure Video.
Apple said the higher limits apply because image generation and other upgraded features run on costly server models; it did not disclose the exact daily caps.
Image Playground is among the affected tools, with iOS 27 adding photorealistic image generation after Apple shifted underlying Apple Intelligence models to Google Gemini.
HomeKit Secure Video gains generated descriptions, clip search and automatic surfacing of notable moments, likely on plans with at least 200GB for $2.99 a month.
The move broadens iCloud+ differentiation beyond storage, with Apple One Family and Premier subscribers also expected to receive the added features.
