Apple has released an update for its iWork suite, which includes new features powered by the Apple Intelligence technology introduced in the iOS 18.4 update earlier this week. Users can now utilize artificial intelligence capabilities across Keynote, Numbers, and Pages to enhance their documents, presentations, and spreadsheets with the help of Writing Tools. Additionally, these updates allow users to export their work into various formats using Shortcuts.
iWork Apps Enhanced with Apple Intelligence
According to Apple, the enhanced features are available on iPhones, iPads, and Macs running the latest iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS 15.4 updates, with the iWork apps updated to version 14.4. A key highlight across all three applications is the Writing Tools feature, which assists users in editing text for documents, presentations, and spreadsheets.
This AI-driven functionality enables users to proofread, summarize text, adjust tone and length, or completely rewrite content directly on their devices. Furthermore, users can seamlessly export their files into different formats using Shortcuts.
In Keynote, the latest update introduces enhancements to the copy and paste functionality with Freeform. Numbers has received an upgrade as well, providing access to over 30 advanced functions like LET, LAMBDA, FILTER, SORT, and UNIQUE. It also features the ability to check outputs from a single formula across multiple cells through spilling arrays, along with improved compatibility for importing and exporting Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
The Pages app has also benefited from the update, simplifying the process of adding extra pages to word-processing documents. Similar to Keynote, Pages includes improved copy and paste capabilities with Freeform.
Compatibility with Apple Intelligence
The Apple Intelligence suite is compatible with the entire iPhone 16 lineup, along with two models from the iPhone 15 series: the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Additionally, the compatibility extends to iPads featuring the A17 Pro chip or M1 and later models, as well as Macs equipped with M1 and newer processors.
