    Apple has now updated the iOS App Store app and has brought in some important and much awaited changes. For starters the new app now has Siri support. If you ask Siri for any Apple product, it will open the app and give you the relevant details. For example, the question, “How much is an iPhone 5″ opens the app directly to the dedicated iPhone page. The app also supports the new Passbook feature introduced in iOS 6. According to the change log, users will be able to purchase gift cards and email them to friends and family directly from the Apple Store app. And if you happen to receive a gift card as an email, you can store it in the Passbook app and use it in one of Apple’s retail stores.

    The new iOS Apple Store app is available on the App Store for free. It weighs in at 6.0MB.

  • Apple Store Removes Over 60 Rip-Off Games

    Apple Store goes blitzkrieg on their rip-off games. Apple has their fair share of submissions in the app store on a daily basis, especially for the games. Some creators who actually spend time and money thinking of an original game end up being enormously famous, while the others who just take one game and imitate it into their own get the boot eventually. Keep in mind though Zynga is not included in the mix, no matter how many copies they make they’re still a big company and will stay that way, sad but true.

    Apple Store deleted some of the most openly inviting imitation titles from their infamous app store as of today. Some of them are listed below:

    Angry Ninja Birds

    Tiny Birds

    Temple Jump

    Numbers With Friends

    Plants Vs. Zombies

    All of the above and about 60 more were removed and can not be added back to the app store. This is still a question of choice though, these games weren’t complete copies of their originals, should they be allowed to do business? Are we forgetting imitation’s link to flattery? It’s not like these rip-offs can take anything away from the original giants, why not let them have their fun too?
