Apple updates iWork, iMovie and GarageBand for iOS
Along with the newly introduced iPhoto for iOS, Apple has updated some of the most downloaded and comprehensive iPad apps out there - iWork, iMovie and GarageBand.

1. iWork - Pages, Numbers and Keynote for iOS have all been bumped up to newer versions. The price for each still stands at $9.99, but it’s a free update if you’ve already purchased them. The updated iWork apps are already available in iTunes.

The three apps are now tailored to best fit the new high-res display and have some performance improvements, but little change apart from that.




2. iMovie - $4.99, free update

The application got updated with advanced editing tools. You can now create movie trailers and preview music and sound effects. The fun is augmented with nine genre templates and soundtracks from famous composers. You can also beam 1080p movies via AirPlay, and share them to YouTube and other social services.


3. GarageBand - $4.99, free update

The third member of the now full iLife suite for iPad (including iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand) is also getting updated for best viewing on the high-res Retina display. Additionally, you get “Smart Strings” to strum or play around other instruments easier, and a note editor to jot down musical ideas.

Probably the best new feature, though, is “Jam Session” allowing you to connect up to 4 devices wirelessly and start making music together simultaneously.

Here’s Apple’s detailed explanation:

We wonder if this means that kids playing instruments would finally sound good. Hopefully, in the meantime, the update is now available for free on iTunes.
