The online Apple Store is one of the best places to purchase any Apple products at OEM rates. Of course Apple also has an iOS Apple Store app for its iDevices in case you want to purchase the latest and greatest Apple hardware right from the comfort of your smartphone.
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.
