iOS 26.2 beta 1 arrived yesterday with a bunch of exciting new features, but hidden in the release’s code, there’s also reference to a new ‘Apple Creator Studio’ in the works.
Beta 1 of iOS 26.2 references ‘Apple Creator Studio’
The first beta of iOS 26.2 is here, with powerful Apple Podcasts upgrades, welcome design changes in the News app, updates to Sleep Score, and more.
As sometimes happens with betas, iOS 26.2 beta 1 also includes hints at more changes in the works.
Aaron Perris posted about one discovery on X:
This leaked name could be for anything. But it comes on the heels of another recent leak that could be related.
Just last week, Perris also discovered evidence of App Store IDs for four new iPad versions of existing Mac apps:
- Pixelmator Pro
- MainStage
- Motion
- Compressor
These are all pro-focused apps, and could fit nicely into a bundle of sorts with Apple’s existing “pro” tools like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro.
‘Apple Creator Studio’ might bundle Apple’s “pro” apps together at a discount. I suspect it would include access to both Mac and iPad versions of the apps.
Then again, it’s also possible the name is for something else entirely. We’ll keep you posted on any additional discoveries in iOS 26.2 beta 1 and future betas.
