As you probably have heard, Apple released iOS 6 and caused quite a hubbub on the internet. Their servers took a hit, no doubt. The update brings many changes that we outlined in a blog post here, but one that we didn’t mention was the non-superficial changes to the AppStore.
In the past, browsing the AppStore has always been a horrendous experience for me. First, I would have to type my password in, even for free apps, or even updates. My fingers are incredibly damaged due to some unknown nerve damage, so typing on the iPhone is something I absolutely loathe. With iOS 6, Apple no longer requires users to input their password when they update apps.
Also, they no longer make users leave the AppStore, every time that they download an app, whether paid or free. The apps download in the background, providing a much more seamless experience.
Even more useful is the “Apple Apps” section on the AppStore where users can download Apple’s applications without a password or tapping multiple times. One button and you get all of Apple’s best free apps. As Mike Beasley of 9to5Mac reports, there is no mention of any paid apps. So, if you’re looking for an easy handful of Apple’s best, free apps, head over to the AppStore! Stay frosty, my friends.
