On the 28th, Apple started distributing the latest version of the work efficiency application "iWork" for iPhone / iPad / Mac. Pages, Numbers, and Keynotes are each version 11.2.
Also, some features are only available in environments updated to iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey.
The latest version of iWorks is a major update that is especially conscious of the efficiency of remote work, as well as mobile applications that are easy to use on iPhone and iPad.
First of all, for the presentation app Keynote, you can put the speaker's video directly on the slide. PinP can now be displayed across slides without switching screens, and effects can be applied. You can also add participants working with iCloud or Box and share your remote control.
Next, in the spreadsheet Numbers, summarization is even more convenient. A pivot table (a function that aggregates and analyzes a large amount of data collected in one place from various perspectives) is implemented, and the data can be visualized in an easy-to-understand manner. This pivot feature is fully functional not only on Mac, but also on iPad and iPhone.
It also implements a radar chart creation tool that allows you to visually compare multiple variables at once. By overlapping, similarities, overlaps, and differences can be seen at a glance.
Finally, Document Creation Pages is a popular app that is rapidly increasing the number of users who want to use it from the iPhone.
Previously it was difficult to see on the iPhone screen without zooming in, but "Screen View" has optimized elements such as text and images to fit on the screen, making it easier to read and edit. Of course, you can turn it off and check the original data.
Below are the updates for each app (iOS / iPad OS version).
