Apple Ending Development on Aperture as Upcoming Photos App for OS X Will Replace iPhoto

Apple will no longer continue development on its professional photography application, Aperture, reports The Loop . Instead, the company is working on the Photos app for Mac that it introduced during the Worldwide Developer's Conference.

"With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture," said Apple in a statement provided to The Loop. "When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS."

The Photos app, combined with iCloud Library, is also designed to replace iPhoto. Aperture saw its last major version update to 3.5 on October 22, 3013, and since then, there's been one last minor update.
