Apple rolled out updates for its iWork suite and Final Cut Camera today. Pages, Keynote, and Numbers jump to version 15.3, while the camera app moves to 2.3. The changes arrive through the App Store and include new AI‑driven shape tools and tighter integration with Pixelmator Pro for Creator Studio subscribers.

Subscribers can tap an image in any iWork file and send it to Pixelmator Pro on iPad, then see the edited result back in the document, presentation, or spreadsheet. All users gain automatic hyphenation in Pages, new transition effects in Keynote, sheet‑tab colors in Numbers, and a Content Hub shortcut for swapping images.

Final Cut Camera 2.3 adds a Clean HDMI Out for a raw video feed, ProRes 422 options for high‑fidelity capture, and a toggle to disable digital zoom, preserving optical resolution. The iPhone 17 Pro is required for HDMI output, while ProRes modes work on iPhone 13 Pro and newer. These tweaks give creators studio‑grade video without extra hardware.

By extending AI‑generated shape creation and seamless Pixelmator Pro hand‑off across the iWork family, Apple nudges more casual users toward its paid Creator Studio ecosystem. Simultaneously, the ProRes upgrades keep the iPhone competitive as a primary on‑set camera, reducing the need for separate capture devices. The updates reinforce Apple’s strategy of bundling creative tools with its hardware lineup.
