I just hope it's a full update of the entire app and not just a minor update.
I love Aperture - I just want noise and sharpening tools to be at LR5 Level and I am going back to Aperture.
So how much for upgrade? All I got in my iTunes left is $15.20, is it enough? Damn Apple make this free for everyone and you would have whooped Windows ass.
I am confident the update will come earlier.
I am sure it is made to take advantage of Mavericks mostly.
But this is just my opinion.
I'm curious to see if the updated apps (especially the iWork ones) have kept their full set of functionality over their previous versions. At a first impression all of them seem a bit dumbed down to me.
But what about upgrade paths or people who haven't bought a new iOS device... It's strange they're not just making it free. I'm looking forward to finding out!
But I'm liking how you are getting so much more for that premium Apple Price with some quality software!
And I'm still wondering whether or not they've actually upgraded iPhoto to really take advantage of iCloud so I can edit and manage my photos on the iPad and the Mac.
Time will tell...
So, if I purchased my new iMac online on 9/24, but it wasn't available at the Apple store till 10/04, I'm out of luck?
Seems a little harsh not making them free for all ios devices Iv got a iphone 5 and a ipad 2 and I have to pay for them..... or have i got this all wrong?
had my ipad 2 for nearly 2 years and my iphone for just under a year.

why? it's an incentive for people to get new hardware. They weren't free when you bought those devices originally.
Wait so if I got the new 5s that came with the iWork do I get this update free?!? Or there will be a new download? I see no update or anything available for download or purchase
I wonder if I'll get them for free for my new work iMac (just purchased October 2). My work purchased it so it's not really "mine".
I am still curious. I paid for the apps on iOS and on my Mac, I would be mighty disappointed if I had to pay again.
Here's to hoping that pages for iOS finally gets the ability to search for a created doc within the app. I travel with several 100 docs in pages on my iPad without any way to find a doc in a hurry. The alphabetical scrolling is to slow. Even free and cheap note apps have a search feature.
Same here. If it's just a straight update it will be free. Hopefully they are not releasing them as a separate App from the previous versions.
So, how are they going to handle this? For example, I have iPhoto 11 available to download in the MAS. Are they going to maintain that and have the new version both in the MAS? Otherwise, I'll lose my copy of iPhoto since I haven't bought a new Mac. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It's not very Apple-like to keep two versions of software available.
I assume the old version will be removed from sale, and the new one will replace the older version in the MAS. If its a paid upgrade, they will handle this the same way they did OS X.
I am getting a bit nervous about those iWork updates. Eddy Cue pointed out that all iWork apps have full compatibility across platforms now, including iOS and the iCloud web apps. The Mac version always had a lot more features and themes though. The screenshots also show a new user interface, which looks a lot like the iWork web apps. I hope I am not right when I say that iWork may have been dumbed down on the Mac.

Or the other versions became more powerful?
