Apple Apps Now Subscription Bundled

[Frank Valtellina]

Final Cut Pro for Mac is also available as a one-time purchase on the App Store. 😉

What I will be interested to know is if there will still be updates for the purchased versions.

[Ben Balser]

Apple reps did an interview to clear up the misinformation.

Here’s clarification from the horse’s own mouth.

And remember, “content” and “features/tools” are not the same thing, and that the subscription versions and stand-alone versions will be exactly the same.

Apple Creator Studio: CineD Exclusive Interview Reveals the Future of Pro Apps & Licensing | CineD

In a wide-ranging exclusive Apple Creator Studio interview, we learn that Apple remains dedicated to pro workflows in many ways.

Good news for now. We will see what the future will bring.

So, anybody on the design of new icons? Can we retain the old icons with our existing licenses?

[Kirk Pitts]

I am pretty sure I read that the purchased versions keep the old icon and the rental versions have the new icon and both can be installed on the computer simultaneously.

[Ben Balser]

As for what the future brings, I don’t worry about what doesn’t exist. I’m happy with the status of the apps now, and that’s all that matters. If things change in the future I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. No use crying over what doesn’t exist.

IMHO, the new icons looks like they are trying to sell children’s toys. I hate them. Will both versions have different icons? No one knows yet, just speculation. If you’ve not seen it in black and white from Apple, it’s speculation.
