I'm thinking, what if they just made GarageBand available as a one-time purchase? Like, you can buy it and have it forever. That way, people who only need one app won't feel like they're being ripped off by the subscription model. And maybe Photomator could be bundled too, since Apple just acquired it . It's still 12.99 a month or 129 a year for all those apps, which is kinda steep. But if you really need them, I guess it's worth it
