Apple today said it is putting six tools together under a single subscription called Apple Creator Studio. For $12.99 per month (or $129 annually), subscribers get:
Final Cut Pro (Mac and iPad) for editing video
Logic Pro (Mac and iPad), a digital audio workstation
Pixelmator Pro (Mac and iPad) to edit images
MainStage (Mac) to turn your computer into a musical instrument
Motion (Mac) to create video animation
Compressor (Mac) to transcode media files into other formats
Extra features on Keynote, Pages, Numbers and (soon) Freeform
Considering tools like Final Cut Pro only used to sell for a one-time purchase of $300 and then later on just iPad for $4.99/month, how does this deal look for consumers? Do the bundled items some of them video, some of them audio make sense together? And since Apple can offer it through its own App Store without charging itself commission, where can competitor products compete?

You can now get the full App Store experience right in your browser, with dedicated pages for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision, Watch, and TV app libraries.
Previously, Apple’s “apps.apple.com” domain simply redirected you to a generic page about the App Store on Apple’s website. Now, it takes you to a full-fledged version of the App Store you can browse on your computer.
