Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name.

I have the original Pixelmator for the iPad and on the App Store it shows I need to pay.

I just noticed that and when I tried buying it ($3.99) it told me I had a prior version and allowed me to get this version for free.

Just bought it - the ML is really good at color correction- had a picture in poor light of a pink glitter wall that looked brown / yellow- it totally nailed the correction!!! ( picture taken on iPhone 12 Pro Max)

Also the “Super resolution “ is working REALLY well !! ( the picture is a 1000x zoom on a picture of a mushroom - iPhone 12 Pro Max )

I can confirm this.

I was pretty sure I had bought the app for iPad and still was showing as £3.49 for me, but when I “bought” it again, it showed a message saying the update was free because I own a previous version or something
