Iconography sure has gone downhill over in Cupertino.

  • Pages and Numbers look cool ...kind of.
  • Keynote are Freeform are borderline acceptable.
  • Motion and Compressor bluntly get their point across.
  • Final Cut and Logic retain certain degrees of recognisability.
  • Pixelmator and MainStage wouldn't look out of place as indecipherable control buttons on an alien spacecraft.

Thank you! This is the truth. There are a lot of apps out there where the developers claim that a subscription is necessary to support development and get more frequent updates, but most of them only receive one or two updates a year.

And then there are apps that do not need to be updated constantly (like, writing apps for instance) and yet the devs still want to rent you the software and noodle around with it perpetually.

Main takeaway: iWork will finally be updated for Tahoe / iOS 26 at the end of January. It's buggy on the current OSes...

Is it? I'm using Pages and Numbers a lot under Tahoe and they're working just fine. It's also a breath of fresh air to not see a sidebar that's an ugly pile of concentric, semi-opaque rounded rectangles all stacked on top of each other. The day that update drops, I'll ignore it as long as feasible -- and hopefully until they sort this **** out and relearn their own UI standards.

Hell, I'm seriously considering reverting my whole iMac back to a Time Machine backup I made before Tahoe was released.

If subscription sux or not is irrelevant today. Its our only option everywhere. So….other than that? This suite is pretty bloody cool! I’m paying for Adobe Photography now and would jump at getting video editing for even less… but let’s see what it’s like when it’s all here

Studios? Likely not much. People buying Studios feel that more people buy Studios than actually do. MBPros? Likely not much as the number of people that need to run ANY Pro app more than a couple times a month are, as Apple reported, 15% of all folks that use Pro apps at all. (which is 15% of all Mac users) Anyone with a library of FCP content is going to simply continue to not-pay anything new for FCP as the AI features are really for folks that aren’t familiar with being creative with FCP.

This action actually appears to a realization they came to years ago that most folks that use pro apps don’t use them regularly or often. Allowing this option gives folks who, say, just need access during wedding season to get in, get their work done, and get out.

in 2000 I would bet that 95% of every art department in corporate America had Macintosh workstations and Final Cut was king. It's not 15% down it's gone! And Apple did that to themselves Not sure where Apple has come up with only a lose of 15% or where you can quote a pro only uses a pro app a couple time a month I can understand if your an Apple employee maybe you know those numbers but I'm skeptical.


Imho subscriptions are not about the price they are a message to the user who spends long hours on projects that the software company is not committed to the archival nature of a content provider's work.

Curious to see the plan for higher edu market as they have the Education bundle for $199 one time charge for a long long time ago.

If they discontinued that SKU, I want to know the update plan moving forward.

When I was on Tahoe, I had weird issues with the toolbar flickering and Keynote in particular crashing. Granted that was when Tahoe first came out.
 
This is something I thought I’d be upset about, but I’m already paying £50 a year for Logic Pro on my iPad and I work in a school, so if I can get the education price I’m laughing.

Great, so soon Google will be able to read all your documents and spreadsheets, even if you don't use any other Google services. Not to mention the slow transition of apple made apps going to subscriptions. I'm moving more and more towards Linux with every one of these kinds of articles. Someone just needs to make a Linux based phone and I'll be all set.

For great office apps, get LibreOffice, now on the Mac app store. Cheap purchase price (help fund them)and a great suite of apps.

For a secure private phone that you can do with what you want, take a look at GrapheneOS.
