FULL STORY
======================================================================Leaked 
code suggests Apple is working on four pro iPad apps They include video 
companion apps and a popular photo editor Details like prices, release dates 
and features remain unknown 

Apple has just launched the M5 iPad Pro with a beefy new chip and much faster 
storage. Now, it looks like the company might be preparing a raft of 
pro-level iPad apps to help the devices software take advantage of its 
high-end hardware. 

That idea comes from code sleuth Aaron Perris, who has claimed to have 
uncovered a set of four App Store IDs that point towards the unreleased apps 
(via MacRumors ). Right now, all four apps are available on the Mac but 
havent yet made an appearance on the iPad. If they do, they could bring 
professional tools to Apples tablets. 

The most notable of the four apps is arguably Pixelmator Pro, which is a 
high-end photo editor. The app was bought by Apple last year , and while 
there is a less capable version of Pixelmator available on the iPad, 
Pixelmator Pro is a Mac-only app for now. It requires a one-off purchase of 
$49.99 / 49.99 / AU$79.99, with no subscription. 

The other rumored offerings are companion apps for Apples Final Cut Pro and 
Logic Pro apps, which cover video editing and music production, respectively. 
These include Compressor, which compresses audio and video for Final Cut Pro; 
Motion, a tool for creating 2D and 3D titles, transitions and effects in 
Final Cut Pro; and MainStage, a live performance companion app for Logic Pro.

Long before it was snapped up by Apple, Pixelmator Pro was seen as one of the 
best Mac apps on the market thanks to its high-grade tools and streamlined 
ease of use. But having it on the Mac while leaving iPad users with a 
stripped-down version always felt off when the iPads hardware is so strong. 

If Aaron Perris is correct, that looks like it will change, and Im excited to 
see it make its debut on the iPad. It means tablet users  who have long had 
access to mice, keyboard cases, styluses and other powerful accessories for 
pro-level work  will no longer miss out on a genuinely great piece of 
software. 

Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro have been available on the iPad since May 2023, 
but they require an ongoing subscription to use. We dont know whether Apple 
will make these leaked four apps subscription-only or will simply ask for a 
one-off payment, and that might be an important consideration when deciding 
whether to buy them. 

Its also not clear when these apps will launch, or whether theyll have any 
different features compared to their Mac equivalents. But despite the 
relative dearth of information, the mere suggestion that theyre coming to the 
iPad is good news. Now we just need to look out for further updates to see 
exactly what well be getting when they arrive.
