Here's What Apple's Apps Look Like on the iPhone Duo

With just three days to go until the iPhone Duo is released, Apple is getting ready for the launch. Behind the scenes, the App Store now has screenshots of Apple's built-in apps running on the Duo. We've seen some apps in marketing materials, but images of the ones we haven't seen give us an idea of what it will be like using the iPhone Duo day to day. Many apps are shown in landscape...

Apple Pulls Keynote, Pages and Numbers From App Store [Update: Back]

Thursday October 22, 2026 11:01 am PDT by
Apple has temporarily removed Keynote, Pages, and Numbers from the App Store, just after releasing an update that added iPhone Duo support and a new Intelligent Assistant. It is not clear if the apps were removed intentionally, or if it is a bug. Apple has not said when the apps will be reinstated, but if it was in error, they should return soon. Update: The Mac versions are back without...

RIP, MacBook Ultra

Monday October 19, 2026 9:37 am PDT by
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. The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

Pushing out final updates before the Mac apps go subscription based…
If the Mac apps go subscription-based, I'm out. I will stop using Logic because I'm not willing to pay yet another subscription for something I've been using for years that I paid once for.

I highly suggest everyone here flood them with feedback protesting the subscription model. I have done it already. They do read it - I've gotten many long-standing bugs fixed by using it.

Good to know. Hopefully Apple will never switch the Mac apps to a subscription model.

I don't see why apple can't do whats already been done for 30+ years - a flat update fee when a full ver comes around. $29 ? even $49 for Logic or FCP ?

You *really* dont want subscriptionware. case in point is one major NLE where you can no longer get the installers for older versions, and if you have them they won't authorize if installed. This locks you out of old projects if you haven't opened and saved them up ver 2-3 app vers. of course if you made XML files of your projects you have a shot a project updates, but the digital abyss of project lockout is the veyr biggest problem os subscriptionware. Just see the Capture One lead balloon of trying to get users onto subscriptions when the apps key selling point was it was perpetual lic, upgrade when you need to.
