During the keynote of presentation of the iPhone 5s we learned the news that the office suite iWork made up of Pages, Numbers and Keynote was going to be free but as indicated in the presentation, only the devices acquired from September 1 they could take advantage of this offer.
This is the key to being able to download Pages, Numbers or Keynote for free. There is no other trick and it is not worth restoring the iOS device from scratch so that we get the offer. Apple will detect the date of the first activation and see if the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in question meets the conditions that they have set themselves.
If you are one of those who has released an iOS device from September 1, after installing iOS 7 and accessing the App Store you will see that you have the option to download the applications that are part of iWork for free and also, you can also get iMovie and iPhoto without paying. One more incentive to attract new customers with some of the best apps in the store.
What "tricks" are there to get the applications for free if we do not meet the requirements? There are not many but we have some option. For example, if our iOS device is in the SAT, when we receive refurbished will detect it as "new" and it will allow us to download the apps.
We can also ask a friend for a favor owner of a device that fits the activation date, access with our Apple ID and download the applications. With this we will get them to be associated with our account and we can now download it from any iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Meanwhile, for other iMovie, iPhoto, Pages, Numbers and Keynote users they still cost the same than before. Nor does it make much sense to continue charging for apps for editing documents, presentations and spreadsheets when through the iCloud.com panel we have free access to most of its options.

What is that SAT?
From what I understand is the technical service, greetings.
Exactly, it's the technical service.
hello, is there already a way to solve that problem? I bought a 5s before yesterday and it has not let me download neither iphoto nor imovie, and the iwork ones if it lets me! I don't know why, I thank you
Technical Assistance Service (SAT)
Or you can take a friend's iPhone 5s or 5c, download it with your account, and restore the purchase to your device. You're welcome.
It will be possible to access a new device, and when downloading it with our iD, can we also download it on our other devices? Now that the app stays with our ID!
Yes, it can also be done that way
Well, I bought an iPad mini on September 4, I activated it that same day, before yesterday I updated to iOS 7 and those applications are paid. There is no way to download them for free.
I am in the same with another iPad mini, I am about to call Apple
and if you register in another country that you have never been with another new ID? would it be free?
It does not depend on the Apple ID, it depends on the UDID of the device and the first time it was activated.
Why is this article called "the keys to how to download it without paying"?
For the simple reason that many users do not know the "keys to download it without paying" after the keynote announced that it would be free for all iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch with iOS 7.
It is about clarifying "the keys" or requirements to download these applications without paying.
Nacho, have you managed to download them for free? because I am incapable and I meet the requirements.
I do not meet the requirements, anyway, I have seen in American forums that there are many people just like you. At the moment there is no solution other than to wait or call Apple (you have the phone on the web) so that they give you the solution.
Regards!
American forums? Canadians, Mexicans, Hondurans, or Colombians?
The United States is not America.
eing?
OK thanks!
It is simple, to attract visitors. If you really wanted to clarify something to the clueless user instead of "iWork, iMovie and iPhoto for free, the keys on how to download it without paying" would be entitled "the necessary requirements to download iWork, iMovie and iPhoto", but that same clueless user is easy to motivate to create visits.
"The requirements to download iWork, iMovie and iPhoto" is not valid because you do not indicate that it can be downloaded for free, something that Apple announced could be done with the arrival of iOS 7.
I do not know why you have to look for reasons and conclusions to each thing we do, it is all much simpler. I'm not looking to attract visitors, I'm looking to help and if someone tries to download iWork for free and doesn't know why they can't, this post tries to add some light.
You're right, my fault. Retouching the title will require extensive modification, something like this:
"The requirements to download iWork, iMovie and iPhoto for free"
Profit
And that differs from my title in that instead of free I used the expression "without paying"? ...
I also ask the article title does not correspond to what you have written - zero ,,,,,
iWork is worth every penny; )
Ready, and thanks for the information, downloaded from an ipad mini all the iwork, the other apps already had them. Salu2.
Fact. Activate my ipad mini with USA cta
Hello, would you let me download them from your account please 😘
They changed my iPhone yesterday and they pay me ...
There is one more way also that they have not shown! And if you have a backup already made in iTunes, the most current one to continue as if nothing else, what you can do is make a general deletion from your iPhone and when you start doing the initial configuration when they ask you if you want to restore it with iCloud or iTunes backup or configure as new the option you have to put is to configure as a new device and it tries to do it having internet available and you put your apple ID and voila it will give you to update all those apps I will I did and I'm doing very well.
But they say that Apple will detect the date of the first activation of the device and that the offer will not appear, even if you restore it as new. It sure works before deleting everything.
Hello ! I am from Argentina. I upgraded to ios7 and I don't get free access to Imovie, or Iphoto or any that announced that they would be free after September 1.
Hi, I'm from Mexico and I just bought an OSX version 10.9.2 computer and I thought I had the iphoto included and I don't have it. And if it is because they recommend me under that or do I buy another one that is better?
So I already fought it 🙁 I have with my iPhone 4S since September 12, 2012
