Weekend Poll: Should Apple ditch year branding for its iLife and iWork software?
According to Apple, "Pages '09 is both a streamlined word processor and an easy-to-use page layout application. It allows you to be a writer one minute and a designer the next, always with a perfect document in the works."
Pages '09 was last updated on December 4, 2012. It is a vital, active and very much alive product, even in the early days of 2013.
In the years before online distribution was practical, Apple operated in a world of CD and DVD distribution. Every year or two, they'd issue a new iLife or iWork release, appending the year to mark it out as a refreshed product.
Disc is dead. Isn't it time for Apple to drop the year branding? After all, they've already moved past that kind of version-specific issue with newer apps like iBooks Author. In its second release, iBooks Author 2 is promoted on Apple's site simply as "iBooks Author." No "2." The version is irrelevant.
