“Whether they are in the office, at school, or working remotely,
users around the world love Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for their
powerful features, ease of use, and seamless experience across
iPhone, iPad, and Mac,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president
of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Today, we’re adding even more
power and capability to these apps with new productivity and
collaboration features that enable anyone to create more personal
and compelling presentations, make working with documents on iPhone
a breeze, and bring full-featured pivot tables to mobile for the
first time.”
New Ways to Present in Keynote
Powerful new tools make Keynote presentations more personal,
engaging, and collaborative. With the option to use the
front-facing camera on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, users can now add
live video directly to their presentations. This allows the
presenter to appear alongside the content in their slide — ideal
for lectures, how-to videos, and remote presentations through video
conferencing apps. Live video objects can be easily resized or
styled with masks, frames, drop shadows, and reflections for a more
elegant look. Mac users can connect multiple external cameras to
further enhance the live video experience, and they can even show
the screen of a connected iPhone or iPad right on a slide for live,
interactive demos.
With a new multi-presenter option, everyone can now easily
control a shared slideshow right from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Whether they are in the same room or presenting remotely, multiple
users can take turns advancing slides. Once a user is done with
their slides, they can return control to the host or let another
co-presenter take over to seamlessly continue the group
presentation.
A New Pages Experience Optimized for iPhone
People read Pages documents on iPhone more than any other
device, and Pages now offers a new experience that makes reading
and editing documents on the go better than ever. With the latest
update, Screen View automatically displays text, images, and other
elements in a single-column, continuous flow optimized for the
iPhone screen. Text is enlarged to improve readability, photos and
drawings are sized to fit the display, and tables can be scrolled
horizontally. Screen View is available for all word processing
documents and doesn’t require any additional setup. When enabled,
users still have access to the complete set of editing tools in
Pages. And Screen View can be switched off at any time so users can
see the page layout for their document before printing or
publishing.
Powerful, Easy-to-Use Pivot Tables with Numbers
With its intuitive interface and ability to showcase data with
beautiful graphics and charts, Numbers has always been the best way
for users to get the most out of their data. And now with pivot
tables, users can quickly summarize, group, and rearrange data to
identify and analyze patterns and trends. Creating a pivot table in
Numbers is quick and intuitive: Users can easily select the data to
include, choose how to group and summarize it, and access other
display options from the sidebar. The resulting pivot table appears
in a clear layout that makes it easy for the user to read and gain
insights. Users can visualize their pivot tables with insightful
charts, share pivot data with others while keeping the source data
private, and even import or export pivot tables to and from
Microsoft Excel. Numbers is the first app to bring full-featured
pivot tables to mobile, with the same set of features across
iPhone, iPad, and Mac, giving users access to this powerful data
analytics tool wherever they work.
Additionally, Radar charts are a new chart type that makes it
easy to visually compare multiple variables with similarities shown
as overlapping areas, allowing differences and outliers to really
stand out. And new filter options let users find duplicate entries
and unique values in their data, or easily show or hide rows that
match a specific value.
Keynote, Pages, and Numbers also support the new translation
features introduced in iOS 15, iPadOS® 15, and macOS® Monterey.
Users can select text and quickly see a translation, hear it read
aloud, and instantly replace the selection with the translated
text.
