Overview
- Apple, which on Monday removed the old Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the Mac App Store, now shows only the Creator Studio–ready versions to new downloaders.
- People who previously got the older apps can fetch them from purchase history, though Apple is no longer updating those builds.
- Opening a legacy copy now triggers a pop-up that calls it out of date and offers a button to open or install the new release.
- The current iWork apps remain free for core editing but promote a Creator Studio subscription for AI features and premium templates.
- Paid Mac apps such as Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, and Pixelmator Pro still appear in both one-time purchase listings and Creator Studio variants.
