Apple updates Logic Pro for Mac and iPad with more features: What is new
Logic Pro on Mac and iPad
New Delhi
Apple has announced several new features coming to Logic Pro for Macs and iPads. With version 11.2 for Macs and 2.2 for iPads, Logic Pro now includes upgrades to the Stem Splitter tool, which can isolate different instrument tracks more accurately. One standout addition is Flashback Capture, which lets users recover MIDI and audio—even if they forgot to press record. Apple has also introduced new sound packs like Dancefloor Rush, Magnetic Imperfections and more.
Logic Pro for Mac and iPad: What is new
Updated Stem Splitter:
Apple said that the Stem Splitter tool now works better with old recordings and demos. It also adds support for separating guitar and piano sounds into different audio tracks (stems). This makes it easier for users to isolate specific instruments or vocals.
Apple has also added quick presets to help users create common audio versions like acapella or instrumental tracks. A new 'submix' export option lets users remove certain parts of a song — for example, taking out vocals to make an instrumental version or removing drums and bass for a remix.
Flashback Capture:
With the new Flashback Capture feature, musicians can recover music performances even if they forgot to hit the record button. Using a simple key command or control bar button, users can restore both MIDI and audio. If the Cycle mode is turned on, Flashback Capture automatically saves each take into a folder.
New Sound Packs:
Apple is also adding new sound packs for music creators:
Dancefloor Rush (Mac and iPad): Over 400 loops and drum kits designed for electronic and drum-and-bass music.
Magnetic Imperfections (Mac only): Adds the sound of old-school analog tape with an unpolished, gritty texture.
Tosin Abasi (Mac only): Features signature metal guitar tones, amps, effects, and riffs from the progressive metal guitarist.
Learn MIDI on iPad:
Previously available only on Mac, the Learn MIDI tool now comes to iPad. It allows users to link physical knobs, buttons, and sliders on MIDI devices to control instruments and plug-ins in Logic Pro, offering more hands-on control during music production.

Logic Pro for Mac (v11.2): Free update for current users. New users can buy it for $199.99 via the Mac App Store. It's also part of the Pro Apps Bundle for Education.

Trump's tariff threat, China's retaliation leave Apple stuck between a rock and a hard place
First, Apple faced President Donald Trump's threat to slap tariffs on its products manufactured outside the US. And now, China, sensing an opportunity, is moving fast to stymie the iPhone maker's India plans. Foxconn, Apple's largest supplier, has quietly pulled Chinese engineers and technicians from its Indian plants. Over 300 Chinese workers have left Foxconn's iPhone assembly facilities in India in the past two months. Not just the workforce, Beijing is also curbing technology transfers and tightening controls on equipment exports to India and Southeast Asia, Apple's key hubs outside China, Bloomberg reported. This is to protect China's long-term interests in case tariffs come knocking from the West. What this means for Apple Foxconn's move will hurt Apple as it gears up to make the iPhone 17. India already accounts for 20% of global iPhone output and was hoping to scale further. Trump had aimed the tariff gun at India's Southeast Asian peers, and the country was hoping to pick up the slack. This is also significant, as data showed that nearly all the iPhones exported by Foxconn from India went to the US between March and May, far above the 2024 average of 50% and a clear sign of Apple's efforts to bypass high US tariffs imposed on China. But Vietnam, another key Apple manufacturer, has moved faster and struck a deal with Washington that allows duty-free American imports and caps tariffs on Vietnamese goods at 20%, far below Trump's proposed 46%. This is while India waits for its interim trade agreement ahead of the July 9 deadline. India angle India relies on both a skilled workforce and high-end tech from China. So far, the impact has been limited, but experts say it could worsen as India is pinning its hopes on Apple to become a manufacturing powerhouse. However, Union minister for electronics, IT, railways and information & broadcasting, Ashwini Vaishnaw, has said the country plans to develop its own electronics manufacturing abilities and reduce dependence on China. At an ET Roundtable in New Delhi, Vaishnaw said that India is ramping up domestic production in a 'very methodical and sustained way', aiming for a 38% value addition over the next five years. 'De-risking is learning the skills and making it here and developing our own supply chain, which is what we are doing,' he said. China currently accounts for 38% value addition in electronics assembled in India. Vaishnaw said India is working to reduce its dependence on Chinese know-how and will lean on ecosystems in Taiwan, the US, and South Korea, alongside its own talent.

TikTok races to launch new US app as sale deadline approaches
TikTok is secretly building a brand-new app for American users because its Chinese owner, ByteDance, must sell the US version by law. According to insider reports, this replacement app will hit Apple and Google stores on September 5. President Trump claims the US "pretty much" has a deal ready, but he'll start talks with China this week to finalize it. The clock is ticking: Trump extended ByteDance's deadline to September 17 to hand over TikTok's US operations. If the sale happens, a group of American investors will own and run the new app. Here's what 170 million US TikTok users need to know: Your current app will keep working until March 2026, but you'll eventually need to switch to the new version. The change won't be instant; TikTok plans a six-month transition where both apps might work side-by-side. But by next spring, the original TikTok will stop functioning in America. The company hasn't confirmed if your followers, videos, or messages will transfer automatically. This scramble comes after years of US worries that China could spy through TikTok, a claim the company denies. Lawmakers say the sale will protect national security. Deal roadblocks remain. Earlier this year, China blocked a similar sale after Trump hit Chinese goods with steep new tariffs. Beijing could again stall the deal since Chinese tech export rules require approval for TikTok's algorithm transfer. Trump admitted: 'We'll probably have to get China's okay'. Meanwhile, TikTok staff are working overtime to 'clone' the app with identical features like For You feeds and LIVE gifts, but under US-controlled servers and software. Workers worry the rushed timeline might cause glitches or data loss during the switch. What's next? If China greenlights the deal, TikTok's sale could finish by late September. If not, the app faces a US ban.

Foxconn saga: Recall of Chinese workers hits India's iPhone manufacturing
With the recall of the Chinese workforce, the effort to transfer technology built by Apple has been interrupted at Indian plants premium Surajeet Das Gupta New Delhi Listen to This Article At a time when the automobile industry is coping with the shortage of heavy rare earth magnets, sourced primarily from China, Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn Hon Hai has delivered a blow to manufacturing of Apple products in India. Ahead of the iPhone 17 launch, which was supposed to have brought India centre stage in Apple's global supply chain, Foxconn has ordered hundreds of Chinese technicians and engineers to leave the Indian factories and return home. While there's no official reason for the recall, people in the know explained that it was at behest of the Chinese government, which has a
