After finishing the presentation event of the new iPad 2018, the guys from Cupertino have launched a new update of the iWorks office suite, where we can find Pages, Numbers and Keynote. The main reason for launching this new update is adapt all the news that Apple has presented during the last event, an event aimed at education and where Apple wants to be a reference again.
And I say wants to be a reference again, because in recent years, Apple has seen how Google with the Pixelbooks managed by Chrome OS has become the preferred platform for both students and teachers, partly due to its price, since these types of products are available in the market for about $ 200.
