As you can see, Apple added several new features across its mobile iWork suite, as well as better support for Microsoft Office applications. Conversely, the updates to the Mac iWork apps are far more tame: “iWork Update 9.3 adds support for iWork for iOS 1.7 apps.”
If you already own the apps, you can find their updates — like always — in the Updates tab in the App Store. Otherwise, if you’re interested in purchasing them, you can find Pages here, Numbers here and Keynote here. All of them work with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
