Apple capitulates, resumes sales of $999 Final Cut Studio

“After seeing a strong user backlash against Final Cut Pro X, Apple has caved to pressure from the video editing community and resumed sales of Final Cut Studio, though it is currently only available over the phone,” Josh Ong reports for AppleInsider.

“A person familiar with the matter told AppleInsider earlier this week that Apple had issued an internal note stating that Final Cut Studio, part number MB642Z/A, is again available for sale,” Ong reports. ‘It is only available through the internal store via telesales,’ the tipster added.”

Ong reports, “However, calls placed to Apple by AppleInsider showed that not all sales staff have received the memo, as there appears to be some internal confusion over the status of the software.”
