Previously only free with purchase of new hardware, Apple's entire suites of iWork and surviving iLife apps on iOS and macOS are now free for all, with no purchase requirement.


Apple's GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote, Numbers, Pages Now Free for All iOS & macOS Users


On Tuesday afternoon, Apple changed the pricing for the entirety of its iLife productivity suite, and iLife remnants iMovie and GarageBand. The change is notable, but not likely of major impact given that both have been free for five years with hardware purchase.


While the three productivity apps were released at the same time as iOS 10.3, none of them require it. For iOS, all three apps still require iOS 10.0 or later. 


Keynote occupies 695MB of device storage space, with Pages, and Numbers taking 481MB and 361MB respectively.


GarageBand occupies 1.7GB of device storage space, with iMovie taking 697MB. GarageBand hasn't been updated since January for iOS, with iMovie last seeing an update in July 2016.


The macOS versions of the iWork apps all require macOS 10.12 or greater, and once retailed for $19.99. Numbers occupies 173MB, with Pages demanding 230MB, and Keynote taking 472MB.


GarageBand for macOS was updated with Touch Bar compatibility in November 2016, and requires macOS 10.10 or better, and takes 956MB of storage space. 


Apple's iMovie for macOS was updated more recently on April 13, and includes some bug fixes. It requires macOS 10.11.2 or better, and occupies 2.15GB of storage space.
