Viral Instagram video shows man ‘stealing' Final Cut Pro app from Apple Store - But does it work?
You may or may not have seen viral videos of people airdropping expensive Final Cut Pro software onto their Apple devices from a MacBook in an Apple Store. These infamous clips show individuals airdropping the software onto their devices, allowing them to run it on their own Macs for free, bypassing the hefty price tag of ₹29,900 for the official Apple version. But does this trick really work as claimed? Well, the answer is yes, but it involves some caveats. Apple Final Cut Pro costs
₹ 29,900.
AirDrop Final Cut Pro To Your Own Apple Device: Details
Firstly, the app you airdrop to yourself won't receive any official updates from Apple. This means you won't have access to new features unless you purchase the full version. Paying for the software is the only way to receive official updates and link your purchase directly to your Apple ID.
