Apple unveils Creator Studio, an all‑in‑one pro‑apps subscription offering 10 apps for $13/month or $130/year (students/teachers pay $3/month or $30/year). Standalone Mac apps remain available as one‑time purchases, and Creator Studio apps can coexist on the same device; updates are generally synchronized, but a few apps have quirks (Pixelmator Pro on an old version, iWork apps listed as two Mac App Store versions). Premium features in the free apps (Keynote, Pages, Numbers) require a subscription, and the Content Hub stock library is exclusive to subscribers. The plan can be shared via Family Sharing for up to six accounts (education plans can’t be shared), with up to 10 devices supported per subscription. Some apps—iMovie, GarageBand, Photomator—aren’t getting major Creator Studio updates. AI features have usage caps and rely on OpenAI tech, with Apple stating user content won’t be used to train models. System requirements vary by app.)
