They ought to say "Pro" somewhere. I was a full time commercial photographer and would get goose bumps if people referred to me as a "Pro" or "Professional Photographer." Many hobby picture takers like the status I guess. Rant - sorry. /c

That thing does not look like it was designed by Apple, at all. Of course, I saw the same image on the App Store.

Probably was made in Affinity Designer/Pixelmator on the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil.

Besides the Apple Arcade stuff there are no Mac apps this year.
