Apple released Final Cut Pro for iPad at the same time as Logic Pro, bringing both of its flagship content creation apps to the platform in a move intended to reinforce the idea of the iPad as a device for creative professionals. While Logic runs on all recent iPads, Final Cut is restricted to models with an M1 or M2 chip due to its demands on the graphics hardware. That will disappoint some people, but Apple often decides to omit older models rather than risk a poor user experience.
