Apple’s distinctive clean design goes beyond hardware. Apple has attracted a following of loyal users, to be sure… and loyal developers that program exclusively for the Mac and iOS platform.
Nearly all apps made for Mac are sold in the Mac App Store. Download and installation are just a click with no serial numbers to track. And as a little incentive to try something new, these apps are priced much less than big-name software. For example, Microsoft Office costs $7 a month. But Apple’s Pages, Numbers & Keynote apps are free with every new Mac. And Mac App Store rules allow you to install them on all the Macs and devices you use at no extra charge.
There are still times when a professional-level app is the only option for your workflow. But for general use, you can save hundreds of dollars with these apps made especially for Mac.
