apple Developing iPad Versions of Professional Creative Apps, Including Motion
Evidence suggests Apple is actively developing iPad versions of several macOS-exclusive professional applications – Pixelmator Pro, Motion, and MainStage – possibly expanding its creative suite on teh tablet. App IDs discovered by developers point to ongoing work on these titles, building on the recent launch of Final Cut Pro for iPad and leveraging the processing power of the M5-equipped iPad models.
The emergence of these app IDs signals Apple’s continued investment in positioning the iPad as a viable platform for professional creative workflows. Motion, tightly integrated with Final Cut Pro, would allow for complete video production on the iPad, handling titles, transitions, and effects.Pixelmator Pro would bring a powerful image editor to the tablet, while MainStage would extend performance capabilities. The M5 iPads, with up to 16GB of RAM, provide the necessary resources for these demanding applications, though Apple has not yet announced release dates. The discovery of app IDs confirms advancement, but doesn’t guarantee an immediate launch.
