The regular-price subscription includes family sharing, education price does not. One-time purchase versions remain available: Final Cut Pro ($299.99), Logic Pro ($199.99)…

>Comes out January 28th

I wonder why? Why not today but 28th of Jan?

Part of me thinks M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro MacBook Pro will also be released on January 28th.

Office 365 - the subscription version of Office - was released in 2011. Microsoft still offers a one time purchase of Office. There is precedent for Bigcorp keeping a one time purchase version and offer a prescription.

Yes - but perpetual purchases have an interesting gotcha that Microsoft didn't realise at first. To encourage subscription over perpetual, ongoing or evergreen updates are limited to subscription version. Office 2024 has every feature that was added since Office 2021 to the subscription version - while a chunk of loyal customers are unaware of them. Back when Google was competing hard with Google Suite, a big percept…

time to dust off that 20 year old edu email address. with these discounts, college has paid for itself!

If you are planning anyway to break the terms of the license and effectively steal the software, why even bother paying something for the privilege? Just get it for free, surely it has to be available cracked

won't somebody think of the poor trillion dollar company!

No, all apps are available for purchase for a one time payment. I don't care about video, so I'll be buying Pixelmator now, and maybe music stuff later, and Video part never. So it works like before, if you want.

Available for purchase... for now.

The only "...for now" event I have seen in last 20 years of Apple software is iWorks and Mac OS X become free.

...and they integrated some of the Aperture to new Photos app, which is again was a transition to free.

Name me something a product, not a service which you can only subscribe in Apple's ecosystem.

Undercut the competition until there is no competition, then raise prices or have I missed something? Ah, yes - cross finance your loses by selling compute in your own data centres / hosting service because you can.

I would assume it's because younger generations of creatives are using their software less and less, increasing the risk of losing the market completely on the software side. At this pricing, more of them will turn to paying Apple rather than paying for multiple services, keeping them tied into the ecosystem. Also so many people are paying for Canva, Capcut etc that taking a piece of that cake is quite a low hanging…

The acquisition of the Affinity software by Canva I imagine motivated this.

It’s even a similar pricing model, though technically with Pages / Numbers / Keynote covers a little more ground but I think the main intent is to get creatives using Apple’s creative software again

Pixelmator being the only 3rd party software because Apple never made a competitor to Photoshop

Though since Canva went full on toward more robust tools I imagine they have started capturing the entire editing chain more than they did 2-3 years ago, hence the Affinity acquisition

> Resolve Studio outclasses it top to bottom for the same one-time cost and runs great on both MacOS and Windows Best 200-300 EUR I spent some years ago, and still receives free updates, Blackmagic Design is a really nice company. And, not only does Resolve run great on macOS and Windows, they have Linux native builds that run even better than it does with the same hardware using Windows, which is REALLY nice.

Oh interesting re: Linux. My understanding was it was rougher but maybe I should try myself!

Runs like a dream for me, albeit on workstation-hardware so YMMV. It runs better under X than Wayland, at least the version I'm still stuck on, but otherwise the performance is top notch and easily worth a try :)
