Apple also adds premium content and AI-powered features for Keynote, Pages, Numbers, with Freeform support coming later. Pricing is set at $12.99 per month or $129 per year, with a one-month free trial.
A major focus of Apple Creator Studio is on-device AI, fully optimized for Apple silicon and designed with privacy in mind.
Final Cut Pro gains transcript-based search, visual search for objects and actions, automatic beat detection, and an AI-powered Montage Maker on iPad.
Logic Pro introduces intelligent music tools, chord detection, an expanded royalty-free sound library, and natural language loop search on iPad.
Pixelmator Pro arrives on iPad for the first time, featuring full Apple Pencil support, advanced AI tools, professional layer workflows, and seamless sync between Mac and iPad.
According to Apple SVP of Services Eddy Cue, the new bundle aims to make professional creative tools more accessible to experienced professionals, students, beginners, and independent creators alike. With its pricing, Apple Creator Studio poses a serious challenge to Adobe, whose Creative Cloud Pro costs $69.99 per month, while individual apps are priced at $22.99 each.
