Apple has released a new version of the Apple Store app. With version 5.1, the search function has been overhauled, making it easy to find products while shopping via the app. Read how it works in this article.
Improved Apple Store app
The Apple Store app is there to order or reserve new devices or other products directly from Apple. Basically it is the mobile version of the online store that you can visit on your PC or Mac, but with a simpler and nicer interface. The latest update makes shopping a bit easier again, because the search function has been significantly improved.
The Search tab interface has been completely redesigned to resemble that of the App Store and iTunes Store. At the top you see the search bar, with some terms that are often searched for below. You can think of ‘AirPods’ or ‘Gift cards’. Search results are presented by means of clear cards and your search history is kept in a similar way in the Search tab. Also handy: there is now a microphone next to the search bar, so that you can search via your voice and do not necessarily have to type.
The latest version of the Apple Store app can be downloaded via the button below. The application works on all devices with iOS 10 or higher and requires 76MB of free storage space.
