Overview
- Apple, which removed the old Mac listings for Pages, Keynote and Numbers on Monday, now shows only the Creator Studio versions to new users.
- People who previously downloaded the legacy apps can still find and re-download them from their App Store purchase history for now.
- Opening an older build can trigger a pop-up that says the app is out of date and offers a one-click path to the new release.
- The updated Mac apps stay free for most tasks and do not require a Creator Studio plan, though Apple pitches added tools and premium templates through the bundle.
- This consolidates a rollout that was simpler on iPhone and iPad, where the same apps gained Creator Studio features through in-place updates earlier this year.
