Apple gives iWork a facelift with collaboration on the web, available for free today
Apple announced in mid-September that it would make its iWork suite of apps free with all purchases of an iOS device, but the company didn't offer any updates for the apps. Today, we heard a little bit more about iWork. First and foremost, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for iOS are receiving a hefty visual update to match iOS 7 design's guidelines. This means Apple has done away with all the Corinthian leather and added a new interface that brings the content you're working on to the forefront. The update also affects the look of iWork for iCloud, Apple's foray into online document-editing, which also receives new collaborative editing features.
While OS X doesn't (yet) share the same visual design as iOS 7, Apple also announced that iWork would also become free with all purchases of OS X Mavericks, the latest version of Apple's desktop software which launches today. Also worth noting, Apple recently made a few more of its apps free: GarageBand, iPhoto, and iMovie.
