Apps Previews and App Bundles on iOS 8 App Store

Apple iTunes App Store is the place where you can download apps and games in iOS 8 on iPhone. Now it is home to more than 1.3 million apps and games. While it is easy to find apps that is recommended by friends and family by using the search feature, however, it is not so easy discovering new apps or games. To make it more difficult, this view is being shared with many users and commentators alike so it might be overloaded with information.

To solve this issue, Apple has released two new features on the apps store, Apps Previews and App Bundles. It is available starting from iOS8. Its purpose is to make it easier for the developers to promote the games and apps that they have created.

For the apps that we see for the first time, we normally will take a look at the screenshots, icons and comments from the people who have downloaded the apps to know more about the apps. After we decided that what the apps can do is worth the price, we do not mind to pay the price and download the apps. However, sometimes, we find that the apps are not as per our expectation. Apps Previews will solve this issue by giving a short video preview of what the app’s feature before we download the apps.

Meanwhile, the other new feature of app store, App Bundles will show the list of apps under the same developers, so that we as the users can buy them in clusters and at a discounted rate, if the developer intends to sell them at the lower price. Therefore, we can pay lower price for a family of apps.

The iPhone 6 Set To Launch In 22 More Countries

The new iPhone has recorded more than 4 million pre-orders in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and the UK. This is a record for Apple, sealing the iPhone 6 and iPhones 6 Plus as bonafide hits. Now its time for the rest of the world to experience the iPhone 6.

Since demand is high, there is a possibility that orders will be sold-out quickly. If you want to get one right now, then going to a brick and mortar store after 19th of September should avail you of an iPhone 6 if you live in one of the above mentioned countries. If not, don’t fret as Apple plans to open up sales to 22 more countries.

Here’s the list:

• Austria

Curiously China is still not in the list of countries getting an iPhone 6 release yet. China’s name was removed from the list of countries overnight on Apple’s website. Until now there has been no news about the reason for the hiatus. Most likely its an issue with a Mobile carrier. China is expected to get a release date soon enough.

To the surprise of the Android community the new iPhone was a great hit with over 4 million units sold in pre-orders in the first 24-hours of its sale. The Apple store’s website crashed a few times due to the tremendous number of people trying to get their order in time before all units were sold out. It seems that Apple’s predictions of high demand were on point. Now with the new SWIFT programming language and iOS8, Apple customers might just get the best experience yet.
