Apple's three iWork productivity apps, Keynote, Pages and Numbers, have disappeared from the App Store, MacRumors reported on Thursday, October 22, 2026.
According to MacRumors, the listings vanished shortly after Apple pushed updates that added support for the iPhone Duo and introduced a new Intelligent Assistant feature. The report does not give a cause, and it says it is unclear whether the removal was intentional or the result of a bug or store error.
What is known
MacRumors describes the removal as temporary, though it notes that Apple has not said when, or whether, the apps will return. No official Apple statement has been reported, and the MacRumors article does not cite other outlets confirming the details.
The timing stands out because Apple has spent the week highlighting iPhone Duo software support. Earlier on Thursday the company spotlighted more than 50 apps adapted for the foldable device and announced a "Made for iPhone Duo" badge for the App Store. Keynote, Pages and Numbers were among the first-party apps updated for the new hardware, which launches on Friday.
What it means for users
Apps that are already installed should keep working, since a store listing being pulled does not by itself remove software from a device. What is affected is new downloads: people setting up a new iPad, iPhone or iPhone Duo who want to install the apps from the store may not be able to find them until the listings come back. Existing users generally receive updates through the App Store as well, so any further fixes could be delayed if the listings stay offline.
iWork apps are free for anyone with an Apple device and also open and edit Microsoft Office file formats, which makes them a common choice for basic document, spreadsheet and presentation work. A gap in availability around a major device launch could be noticeable for new buyers moving their files across.
What to watch
Apple has not commented, so the key questions remain open: whether the listings return unchanged, whether a corrected update follows, and whether the removal is linked to the iPhone Duo or Intelligent Assistant update at all. Cupertino News will update this story if Apple confirms the cause or restores the apps.
