Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro now on iPad
For a price, of course
Video and music makers on Mac who want to extend their workflow to the iPad for even more portability should rejoice. Apple is bringing over the Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro apps to iPad under a subscription-based payment scheme.
The aforementioned apps have been optimized for the Apple’s tablet. This means they were tweaked to match a multi-touch input instead of the usual keyboard and mouse/trackpad.
Final Cut Pro for iPad
Final Cut Pro for iPad introduces an all-new touch interface and intuitive tools. A new jog wheel lets users interact with content in completely new ways. hey can navigate the Magnetic Timeline, move clips, and make fast frame-accurate edits with just the tap of a finger, and with the immediacy and intuitiveness of Multi-Touch gestures, push their creativity to new heights.
There’s also Live Drawing that lets users draw and write directly on top of video content using Apple Pencil. On iPad Pro with M2, Apple Pencil hover unlocks the ability for users to quickly skim and preview footage without ever touching the screen. They can also speed up their workflows by adding a Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio for key commands.
The app also has features for pro camera mode, multicam video editing, fast cut with machine learning, pro graphics, effects, audio, and more.
Editors can import supported media from Files or Photos, and save it directly inside a Final Cut Pro project. Final Cut Pro for iPad also supports the ability to import projects created in iMovie for iOS. iPad users can export their Final Cut Pro projects to Mac.
Logic Pro for iPad
Much like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro for iPad brings the pro music making app to a platform and applies changes to make it easy to use on Apple’s tablet. With Multi-Touch gestures, music creators can play software instruments and interact naturally with controls, as well as navigate complex projects with pinch-to-zoom and swipe-to-scroll.
An all-new sound browser uses dynamic filtering to help music creators discover the perfect sound. It displays all available instrument patches, audio patches, plug‑in presets, samples, and loops in a single location. Users can tap to audition any sound before loading it into a project to save time.
It is also bringing over features like professional instruments and effect plug-ins, beat making and production tools, as well as a pro mixer.
Like on Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro lets users export and move projects between Logic Pro for Mac and iPad.
Price and availability
Starting Wednesday, May 24, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad will each be available on the App Store for SG$ 6.98/ US$ 4.99 per month or SG$ 69/ US$ 49 per year with a one-month free trial.
Final Cut Pro is compatible with M1 chip iPad models or later. Logic Pro will be available on A12 Bionic chip iPad models or later. Final Cut Pro for iPad and Logic Pro for iPad require iPadOS 16.4

Firefox ad reunites all your favorite memes from decades ago
The Numa Numa Guy, Annoying Orange, and Chocolate Rain are back!
Before Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Skibidi Toilet, the early internet was populated by charismatic personalities looking to make their presences felt in a land that didn’t have a lot of rules yet. As early users, we danced to “Dragostea din tei,” belted out “Chocolate Rain,” and copied “Shoes” word-for-word. Today, Firefox is bringing all those good memories back for a grand reunion.
In a new ad, the web browser featured ten of the biggest stars of the early internet including the aforementioned Numa Numa Guy, Tay Zonday, and Shoes’ Kelly. You can also see Annoying Orange, Chuck Testa, Overly Attached Girlfriend, Bad Luck Brian, Where the Hell is Matt?, the Apparently Kid, and the Success Kid.
Now, this isn’t just a reunion. The ad has a clear message about today’s most concerning issue: AI. Everything has “built-in AI, always asking, asking, asking,” as the Annoying Orange said.
“They make money by following us, and somehow, I’m the creepy one?” the Overly Attached Girlfriend asked.
All these famous personalities are asking what happened to the internet today. Obviously, the big takeaway is that we should all go back to Firefox.
Compared to other browsers, Firefox has a lot of built-in features that offer a lot of control for users. For one, it has its own VPN for privacy. Secondly, reflecting the ad’s message against AI, the browser has a toggle to minimize AI features.

Apple Music is getting a revamp. In one of the tamer things going on with the brand today, Apple has introduced a new design language for its native music streaming platform.
In the midst of all the hubbub surrounding the iPhone Duo, Apple released a change in the visual identity of Apple Music. Rather than a static logo, the platform’s newest evolution offers a dynamic look that melds Liquid Glass and the power of sound together.
Confirmed through a behind-the-scenes video, Apple says that the new aesthetic was made with practical effects. Music producer Fred Again and NEST Acoustics submerged the platform’s logo in a tank of mineral oil and creating ripples with sound. The new language matches well with the chrome aesthetic typical of today’s trends and… well, Liquid Glass, of course.
Apple says that the more ripple-filled version will play before longer content like concert recordings (similar to Netflix’s startup stinger). Meanwhile, a black-and-white version will replace the app’s icon currently colored red and white. Current previews show off a simple logo, but it’s unknown whether Apple is adding a but more elements when the final version drops.
The updated version will debut for users after next week’s iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2 updates.
