At long last , Apple this calendar week unveiledFinal Cut Pro and Logic Audio for the iPad , finally bring its professional production apps to its high - end tablets . I ’m no AV expert , but the apps appear to be virtually full versions of the Mac apps with touch interfaces for the relatively low monetary value of $ 4.99 a calendar month or $ 49 a year .
It ’s the kind of annunciation that would work very well as an appetiser at any keynote . And there just happen to be one coming up in just a few hebdomad . But Tim Cook must have look at the ticket of announcements for WWDC and resolve there simply was n’t room for one more .
That ’s pretty exciting . WWDC does n’t usually get the level of hype that the September iPhone consequence gets , but this twelvemonth already feel different . Rumors are point to several new products for the computer software - centrical show — and now that Apple has seemingly drop a major announcement from the event , iOS 17might feel like an second thought .
While WWDC is no unknown to hardware announcements — last year take the M2 chip and redesigned MacBook Air ; 2017 give us the HomePod , iMac Pro , and 10.5 - in iPad Pro — but this class is shaping up to be a monstrosity show , with several potential headlining announcements , admit a 15 - inch MacBook Air and Apple silicon Mac Pro . And big of all , WWDC could be the launch event for Apple ’s first completely new intersection in age , theReality Pro AR headset .
Add to that hearsay of awatchOS 10overhaul , some of our “ most requested features ” in iOS , iPadOS , and macOS , and the anticipate debut of xrOS for the headset , and you ’ve generate what could be the biggest Apple keynote of all clip .
And we do n’t have much longer to waitress . TheWWDC keynotewill kick off at 10 am PT on Monday , June 5 . We ’ll be sure to bring the Zea mays everta .
