Apple’s recent acquisition of Pixelmator has sparked curiosity about its future. Historically, Apple has handled app acquisitions well, maintaining a strong track record of enhancing or integrating apps into its ecosystem.
Notable examples include Logic Pro and Shazam.
While it’s unclear whether Apple will keep Pixelmator and Photomator as standalone apps or integrate their features into the Photos app, Apple’s commitment to quality apps suggests a positive outcome.
Pixelmator, known for its impressive design and functionality, is seen as too valuable to scrap.
With a history of respecting app creators, Apple’s plans for Pixelmator are likely to involve continued development, benefitting both users and the app’s creative team.
