The most prominent pioneer in AI is certainly OpenAI, but Grok, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude aren t doing badly either.

And now that these tools have already adapted to the market, it feels like Apple is only just waking up.

Tim Cook is approaching retirement, and it is obvious he cannot hold this position indefinitely.

Tim has led the company since 2011 and helped it grow from a $350B company to a $4T giant. However, they are currently having a problem and are stagnating even in AI.

Apple today said it is putting six tools together under a single subscription called Apple Creator Studio. For $12.99 per month (or $129 annually), subscribers get:

• Final Cut Pro (Mac and iPad) for editing video

• Logic Pro (Mac and iPad), a digital audio workstation

• Pixelmator Pro (Mac and iPad) to edit images

• MainStage (Mac) to turn your computer into a musical instrument

• Motion (Mac) to create video animation

• Compressor (Mac) to transcode media files into other formats

• Extra features on Keynote, Pages, Numbers and (soon) Freeform

Considering tools like Final Cut Pro only used to sell for a one-time purchase of $300 and then later on just iPad for $4.99/month, how does this deal look for consumers? Do the bundled items some of them video, some of them audio make sense together? And since Apple can offer it through its own App Store without charging itself commission, where can competitor products compete?

Yes, we had this talk on Product Hunt countless times, about whether Apple is behind in AI.

Apple is in early talks with Google to potentially use Gemini AI to power a revamped version of Siri, as part of efforts to catch up in generative AI. They have been considering Anthropic s Claude and OpenAI s ChatGPT + testing their own models.

Last time we talked about Apple and its chances of gaining dominance in AI.

Many agreed that Apple:
