The company is also rolling out new features in several of its Creator Studio apps.
Apple touted the iPhone 18 Pro’s variable aperture capabilities when it announced the phone earlier this month, so it’s only natural that it would eventually update all of its apps to support it. The company announced a new update to Final Cut Camera to take advantage of its adjustable aperture and new phone camera settings, and brings a series of new features to Creator Studio apps for subscribers and non-subscribers.
In addition to supporting the phone’s new hardware, Final Cut Camera has been redesigned to accommodate all the new camera settings the company is now introducing on its Pro phones. The app makes it easy to access things like ISO and white balance, and just as easy to clear the screen and see the viewfinder with a simple two-finger tap. Since Final Cut Camera also lets you control your iPhone with Final Cut Pro remotely, all of the same settings, including aperture adjustments, can also be made from a nearby iPad or Mac. When you need to edit your footage, Final Cut Pro and Motion now support editing depth of field and focus points for videos shot on iPhone 18 Pro.
Apple is also rolling out a series of updates to Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Freeform and Pixelmator Pro for Creator Studio subscribers. In Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and Pixelmator Pro, subscribers can access new templates and themes to get started. In the case of Keynote, the application also gains the ability to automatically generate images that match the content of a presentation slide. For the subscription-only iPad version of Pixelmator Pro, Apple also ports the Select and Mask tools from the Mac version of the app.
Many of Apple’s Creator Studio apps also get new features that non-subscribers can access:
- Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform now let you request access to view or edit a shared file.
- Pages’ screen view option can optimize document content for “focused reading and writing.”
- Numbers now supports new “trigonometry, statistics, and logic functions.”
- Freeform tables automatically adjust if your device is in dark mode.
- Free-form tables can be organized into collections.
- Freeform fully supports Apple Intelligence writing tools for editing and generating text.
All of these updates are rolling out to Apple apps today, although some features require specific hardware or a subscription. For example, Final Cut Camera’s new camera settings require an iPhone 18 Pro, while new Pixelmator Pro models require a $13 per month Creator Studio subscription to access.
