Historically they've always added parallel functionality to all 3 apps, even when it didn't make much sense for 1 or 2 of them. But playing videos for presentation is what Keynote is FOR!
They already showed what they will look like in Big Sur, but the version of iWork for Big Sur won’t be released until Big Sur is released.Is it a joke that they refuse to update the icons for these? Imagine them looking like the iOS ones and matching the style of every other icon in my dock.
I've had four "incompatible" updates in the app store for a long time. These three and iMovie. I'm on HS. I'm not sure what about the operating system makes it impossible for Pages to make it possible for you to write a letter to your mother, but it must be something Earth-shattering.Not compatible with High Sierra. Mojave?
