New Pricing of Apple Software and Accessories Beginning to Emerge
- iLife '05 which includes iTunes 4.7.1, iPhoto 5, iMovie HD, iDVD 5, and GarageBand 2.0 is $79 as announced during Steve Jobs' Macworld keynote address. However, there are three new twists:
- iLife '05 Up-to-Date for $20--Macs bought after 1/11/05 until 3/18/05 that do not include iLife '05. Claims must be postmarked or faxed by 3/18/05.
- iLife '05 Family Pack for $99--5 licenses for in-home use only.
- iMovie HD alone for $10--This was posted on MacMinute claiming it was "buried in Apple's web site" but we couldn't find the page to confirm it.
- Apple Keyboards and Mice--USB wired for $29 each (down from $49) and wireless for $59 each (down from $69) or as a set with the Mac mini for $99. See the Apple Store.
We hope that the MacMinute report of a standalone iMovie HD for $10 bears out and that it extends to other components of iLife '05, especially iPhoto5. We mostly use iPhoto 5 and we are sure that is true of many people. However, we'd be really surprised to see the components sold for less than $19-25. [Bill Fox]
