Apple turns its Pages, Numbers, Keynote apps up to 11
Apple has updated its iWork suite of apps to version 11.0, with the iOS and macOS versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote making changes to the Arrange inspector to make it easier to design your documents.
Updated on Tuesday, the version 11.0 update applies to both the iOS and macOS versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Updates are starting to become available in the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and also in the Mac App Store.
For the iOS iWork versions, all three include the same core additions, with precise editing controls for the Arrange inspector available to adjust the look and placement of objects. Onscreen keypads are also available for entering exact values for text sizes, spacing, table sizes, and other elements.
Users also have the ability to add and remove objects or table cells from a selection by tapping and dragging across them. A setting is also available to automatically open documents in edit mode. Lastly, all apps give the option to add phone number links to text objects, shapes, and table cells.
Numbers has the added option to exclude the summary worksheet when exporting a spreadsheet to Microsoft Excel.
The macOS variants gain an improved media browser, which includes enhanced search options and extra content categories, including Recents, Portraits, and Live Photos. An AppleScript function for changing document passwords and to open documents protected by passwords is also included, along with the phone number link additions.
The iOS apps all require iOS or iPadOS 13.1 or later in order to function. The macOS versions are compatible with all Macs, but needs macOS 10.15 or later.

Last week I got an Omron Series 10 BP gauge because it would automatically enter data into the Health App. I started to set it up and discovered that it does so, after first sending any and all health data to their servers in the US, (I’m not). They even say as part of their EULA that they will work with 3rd party companies to use the data for tracking, tracing, and marketing. I closed up the box and returned it instantly. Seems like most all of the connected BP gauges do that. Really p****s me off.

They’re different tools. iWork is designed primarily for individuals. Office is designed for...office use. Different audiences, different ways of working. The ease of use in iWork is preferable to me than Office. But if I have to build a document with VBA & form elements, Office is that tool.
I had an older Omron that used BT to add BP to health app. They updated the app and it required an online account and uploading your health data to the cloud. That's when I stopped using it and tell everyone else that they should not buy Omron.
I just checked and the Pages and Numbers updates are available on my iPhone, where I use them maybe once or twice a year to check a document. They’re not available for my iPad where I use them every day for hours at a time.
I’ll check back later.
Yup, it's the insurance providers who are pressing this issue to verify that you're actually using the machine. I assume the insurers don't want to pay (even a portion of) the cost of consumables if you're not using the machine regularly. If you have an SD card in your machine you can pop it it out and look at the data logs to see what it is recording. In all likelihood they're just ascii text files. I think that once you see the logs you'll no longer be concerned about it leaking any personal information that anyone other than your sleep doc cares about. It's just usage and settings data. One upside of having the modem is that if you need a pressure adjustment after a sleep study they can push the new settings to your machine remotely and verify that the change took place.
Is the mac any longer the computer for the rest of us, or increasingly the few of us...?
Has Apple dropped support to 17 months?
Is Big Sur less than 6 months 'out of beta' ?

I've loaded Linux and looking at everything open source moving forward.
Is macOS increasingly sustainable or intractable...?
For consideration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unjust_enrichment (let the flames fly) ?
A media browser, phone links and password tweak for a full number revision ?!?
Agreed although I can't disagree much with zimmerman.
That's exactly my use case, tables as an elegant movable object in Numbers and Excel at work in close conjunction with MS Access for import & exporting to & from users with VBA for some validation, automation and formatting. I really like Numbers for personal use but I do miss VBA-like functionality although I've not yet got into AppleScript, it's a bigger leap for me whereas most of my work involves a lot of VBA in Access. I also use Pages but stil have go to the older pre-web compatible version when I need to find and replace special characters for cleanups (or do it in Word). Any revision is always welcome of course but his almost featureless full number revision is disconcerting as it makes me wonder if they will ever bring that feature over … along with many other missing things.
