Apple Launches Creator Studio Subscription
Apple has introduced a new subscription service called Apple Creator Studio.
For a monthly or yearly fee, users can access a bundle of professional creative software, including video editing, music production, and design tools.
This bundle includes popular apps like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Pixelmator Pro, along with AI-powered features to make tasks easier.
The subscription will be available starting January 28 in the US and India.
Individual apps can still be purchased separately, and some apps will remain free.
This move helps Apple grow its services business, which has been important for the company's revenue.
The subscription is priced at $12.99 per month or $129 per year in the US, and ₹399 per month or ₹3,999 per year in India, with discounts for students and educators.
Family Sharing allows up to six users to share a single subscription.
