Those of us who depended on Pages (old) cannot use Pages (new). Despite the name, it is not a successor to Pages (old), except in the licensing terms, it is completely a completely different species of animal. Apple has simultaneously introduced a completely new and different product, also called Pages, that is designed for different users and different use cases.

You can no longer download it or purchase it, and Apple won’t support it. Apple has discontinued Pages in its entirety. I hope there is a way to get back to the most up to date version of iWork 09. If Apple simply made performance upgrades to iWork 09 I would have been happy. Why does Apple get rid of so many useful features in new pages? iWork 13 has been a huge disappointment and nothing more than a downgrade to match the capabilities of the iOS iWork apps. Several pages of complaints from users in Apple’s forums point out that many features, those mostly used by power users, have been removed from Apple’s new redesigned version of Pages: It has invested massively in expanding its network of data centers, including a $1B investment in Reno, expansion in Maiden and new data centers as far afield as Hong Kong and the Netherlands. Yet, central as it is to the ecosystem, iCloud still feels a bit like it deserves the tag Steve Jobs famously applied to Apple TV: a hobby …įollowing the introduction of Apple’s new iWork apps at its iPad Air event earlier this week, an increasing number of users have taken to Apple’s support forums to voice concerns over the removal of features as the apps receive new simplified user interfaces that bring them more in line with the iOS versions.
In some respects, Apple clearly takes the cloud seriously. As I pay the extra for iTunes Match, I’m also able to stream any of my music from any device.
Whether it’s my calendar, contacts, reminders, notes, ebooks or Safari bookmarks, all are available on all devices within a minute or two of me updating any of them. Documents I create in Pages, Numbers or Keynote are again available from any of my devices providing I choose to store them on iCloud.
iCloud is key to that, of course, providing seamless backup and syncing between devices. The Apple ecosystem is a large part of why I stick to an all-Apple line-up for my laptops, tablet and phone.
