Apple has announced updates to its iLife and iWork collection of apps for iOS 7 and Mavericks. The new update will bring a host of new features to iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand in the iLife collection, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers in iWork. 

iPhoto will get a new iOS 7 themed design, 64-bit support and the ability to create photo books on the iPhone or iPad. 

iMovie will bring new features for the iPad for iOS 7 as well. You now don't need to create projects any more and you'll get desktop-like effects to speed up videos. It too will get a new design on the Mac.

Apple really played on the ability to speed up and slow down footage in its presentation launching the new device today. iMovie also gets iMovie Theatre that lets you see everything in one space.
