SanDisk’s New ‘Creator Series’?

cc: SanDisk

SanDisk just dropped a new "Creator Series" storage lineup, but here’s the catch: they’re basically reskinned versions of existing SanDisk products—just in a blue gradient and at a higher price - WOW.

For example, the new 1TB V60 SD card costs $280, while the identical older version is $260. The 8TB Desk Drive? $600 vs. $550 for the same thing in black and red. The 4TB portable SSD has a slightly different port (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2), but most computers won’t take advantage of it, and it’s still $100 more than the original.

Oh, and let’s not forget SanDisk’s recent SSD failure fiasco—they never really owned up to it. So if you’re shopping for storage, there are better (and cheaper) options out there.

Apple Now Officially Owns Pixelmator

Apple’s acquisition of Pixelmator (the popular photo editing software) is now official. The deal, first announced last November, includes Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator. A notification confirming the acquisition appeared in the iPad app, and Pixelmator’s website now has a banner stating, "The Pixelmator Team has joined Apple."

The purchase price remains a mystery, as Apple’s financial reports don’t break it down. Pixelmator hasn’t commented on the deal either.

As for what’s next, some are hoping for the return of Aperture, but it’s more likely Apple Photos will evolve with Photomator’s features. Whatever happens, Apple is officially back in the photo editing software game.
