The effort reflects a drive to shore up services revenue under mounting legal pressure.

Overview

  • Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports the paid Health+ service would offer an AI coach providing nutrition planning and medical suggestions inside the Health app on iPhone and iPad.

  • Gurman says advanced capabilities will depend on Apple's broader AI progress, with upgraded Siri features pushed to 2026.
  • The plan is characterized as a services strategy response as U.S. court rulings challenge in‑app purchases and Apple's Google search deal faces potential dismantling.
  • Apple has already moved to bolster recurring revenue by launching the AppleCare One device‑protection bundle and raising the monthly price of Apple TV+.
