Apple Iwork 2014--2017 - All

In the end, iWork between 2014 and 2017 wasn’t about catching up to the past—it was about quietly building the future of personal productivity.

By 2017, iWork was no longer a "Pages vs. Word" debate—it was a testament to Apple’s belief that software should be powerful yet invisible, enabling creativity rather than standing in its way.
