iCloud website gets iOS 7 makeover, fresh app interfaces

Posted on 18/09/2013 by Mariella Moon

To prepare for iOS 7 bursting out of the developer bubble into public release, Apple has clothed the iCloud website in raiment that reflects the new platform's looks. Next time you log into the website, you'll be greeted not only with redesigned icons, but also with fresh app interfaces -- Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders and Find my iPhone got complete makeovers. The iWork for iCloud beta apps still retain their old UIs, but hey, at least they're still free to use. As a nice bonus, Apple has also added quick menu access, which you can see in the image below the cut, when you click on the name of an open app. Head to the website to get taste of the new platform before iOS 7 comes out today.

Apple’s iWork, iMovie and iPhoto will now be available for free on new iOS devices

Posted on 10/09/2013 by Edgar Alvarez

Today at Apple's next-generation iPhone event, Tim Cook revealed on stage that the iWork suite of applications -- Keynote, Pages and Numbers -- will be available for free on all new iOS devices. That's not it, however, as the Apple CEO also announced that iPhoto and iMovie will follow suit and be up for grabs at no cost. Apple only mentioned that this will apply to "new" devices and the 5th-gen iPod touch -- we're looking into which other iPhone and iPad models can also take advantage of the company's now-free productivity apps, so stay tuned to this post as we'll be updating it as soon we find out.

Update: As promised, we reached out to Apple and below you'll find the official statement from the company.

Today we announced we're making iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers and Keynote available as a free download for all devices activated as of September 1 that are running iOS 7.

iWork for iCloud beta now open to anyone with an Apple ID

Posted on 23/08/2013 by Jamie Rigg

First it was available to developers, then a select few who received invitations, and now the beta of iWork for iCloud is available for all. Apple's made no official announcement, but point your browser to icloud.com, punch in your Apple ID details, and there you have it: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Seeming as you normally have to pay for the iWork software suite, this could be a time-sensitive public beta that'll be pulled once you've found all the bugs (this editor has full access without owning any of the iWork programs). So, you might as well have a go at being productive in the cloud before it's too late.

Apple sends iWork for iCloud beta invitations to everyday users

Posted on 19/07/2013 by Jon Fingas

Apple was quick to invite developers to the iWork for iCloud beta in the aftermath of WWDC, but us commoners have had to settle for watching from afar. The company is quickly opening things up, however -- it just started sending out beta invitations to ordinary iCloud users, including some Engadget readers. While this isn't likely to represent Apple's promised public beta, it's clear that we're now much closer to the day when everyone can give the web-based iWork a try.

Apple unveils iWork for iCloud

Posted on 10/06/2013 by Jon Fingas

iWork has been a traditional software suite ever since it first launched (the brief availability of iWork.com notwithstanding), but Apple is bringing it to the web in earnest today by revealing iWork for iCloud. The suite includes Keynote, Numbers and Pages, and each of the web apps preserves many of the same real-time editing features as its iOS and Mac counterparts. The collection officially supports Chrome, Internet Explorer and (logically) Safari, although you'll likely be waiting awhile to try them: only developers get an iWork beta today, and a public beta is due later this year.
