Much, much more likely. The only acquisition I can think of that Apple has allowed to continue to exist is Shazam.

- wlesieutre 2y agoEmagic's Logic is the pro software example. But they've killed others, like Chalice and RAYZ (purchased from Silicon Grail) were killed before Apple released Motion, and Nothing Real was purchased for Shake which was killed 6 years later.

- masto 2y agoMy ability to think of examples obviously isn't that great. I still don't see where it fits into the lineup. If there's still a PixelMator Pro in 6 months, I'll be surprised, but it won't be the first time I'm completely wrong about something.

- wlesieutre 2y agoI was worried Workflow was totally screwed as a product after Apple bought it, but they've done a really great job at turning it into Shortcuts and integrating it across all their platforms. Being able to put Shortcuts into Control Center in iOS 18 is a handy option, if anyone missed that you can do that now.
