Be prepared to pay a hefty subscription fee!

Maybe it’ll be included in my iCloud+ subscription

It better be pages numbers and notes-like free, but my computers are too old for the latest os so I’m fucked either way.

This is going to result in higher prices!

More likely it will result in some things getting integrated in apples own apps and in the end will be the end of pixelmator

This would be a best-case scenario for me. I’ve never used Pixelmator, but I have extensive experience with Photoshop and Affinity Photo. Over the years, the addition of advanced editing features to the Apple Photos application means I open those advanced tools less and less. I don’t expect Photos to ever become a full-service editor, but it’s exciting to imagine where they can take it with this acquisition.

That, and I think Apple generally does justice to applications they acquire. Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro are prime examples.
