Apple finally made these apps free for all users

Good news for people with old or used Macs.

Apple updated several Mac and iOS apps--including iMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages and GarageBand--to make them free for all users, MacRumors reports.

Previously, the apps were free for users who purchased a new Mac, iPad or iPhone since 2013, but now people with older or used devices have access too.

As per a support post, the changes will make it easier for businesses and educational institutions to download the apps through the Volume Purchase program.

While many Apple users were already eligible for the free software, the update is good news for those with old and secondhand devices, along with people with "hackintosh" computers. Macs tend to last around four to five years, and afterwards many donate the computers for educational use.
