Apple has introduced a new software update designed to enhance creativity for a wider audience. The tech giant from the US has unveiled Creative Studio, a new platform that enables MacBook and iPad users to access premium software at a more affordable monthly rate.
With this service, users can explore professional applications like Final Cut Pro for video editing, Logic Pro for music creation, and Pixelmator Pro as an alternative to Adobe’s Photoshop.
Upon its launch later this month, Apple customers can subscribe to the service for £12.99 per month or £129 per year, which offers excellent value considering the software included in the package.
Notably, Final Cut Pro is sold at £300 on the App Store, while Logic Pro carries a price tag of £200.
By offering these tools through a subscription model, Apple aims to make them more accessible to a broader audience.
Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue, emphasized the value of Apple Creator Studio in empowering creators with powerful and intuitive tools for video editing, music production, creative imaging, and visual productivity.
In addition to the main software offerings, Creative Studio also includes extras like MainStage, which transforms a Mac into a versatile instrument, voice processor, or guitar rig, and Motion, a robust graphics tool for creating cinematic 2D and 3D effects.
Subscribers will benefit from enhanced features and premium content in Keynote, Pages, and Numbers apps, with Freeform updates planned for iPhone, iPad, and Mac later in the year.
While Keynote, Pages, and Numbers will remain free for all users, Creative Studio subscribers will enjoy enhanced versions of these software tools.
Apple Creator Studio will be accessible on the App Store starting on Wednesday, January 28, with a one-month free trial for all users and a three-month trial for those purchasing a MacBook or iPad.
Moreover, Apple offers discounted rates for university students, pricing the software bundle at just £2.99 per month or £29.99 per year to support education savings.
