Apple has today announced significant updates to all its popular iWork and iLife suites at the launch event in Yerba Buena Center, San Francisco. iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band are all getting new looks and significant new features in the iOs iLife suite, while iWork apps Key Note, Pages, and Numbers have all been reworked for both Mac and iOS systems. Both iOS and Mac versions of the software have been updated with new sleek designs to go with Apple's fresh new look, as well as performance improvements and brand new features. Both program systems and their various features will be available for free with the purchase of a new Mac of iOS device.
iWork has been completely rewritten for Mac and significantly updated for iOS 7. According to Apple App Store chief Eddy Cue iWork now has "full file compatibility," CNET reports. Key Note transitions have been updated to be smoother, while Numbers has been given an objects-based design and interactive charts. Most importantly, iWork has been given a new sharing feature to challenge Google's Google Drive service which offers an entirely online-based suite of products. The new iWork allows users to edit in realtime through iCloud: documents can be edited, shared and stored across Mac operating platforms.
iLife has also received considerable revamping. iMovie has been completely redesigned for iOS with an emphasis on editing and sharing: a new feature called 'iMovie Theater' lets you share movies across iCloud and even onto AppleTV. You can also share them on social media directly from the app. There's also a new slow-motion feature on the Mac version. iPhoto has been given a new black and grey designe and the iOS version has been granted Photobook capabilities, meaning you can create and print photobooks straight from your iPad. Lastly, GarageBand has a new design and now supports 16 tracks instead of just 8. You can also purchase a number of new instruments in the app.
