Apple offering free shipping until December 22
Mini_discussion_bubble CNET iPhone Atlas - Posted Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:27:46 UTC +00:00
Holiday shoppers looking to grab some items from Apple can enjoy free shipping on all online orders until December 22. To ring in the holidays, Apple is offering the free shipping on any product ordered through its online Apple store or through its Apple Store iOS app. Apple normally provides free shipping only on online orders of more than $50. So the new promotion gives shoppers incentive to buy less pricey stocking stuffers or to pick up multiple items throughout the holiday season. Last-minute shoppers who need their items delivered quickly can also opt for two-day shipping for $10 or one-day delivery for $16. Apple is even serving up a holiday gift guide on its Web site to steer potential buyers to a variety of items and accessories. In addition, the company is offering gift wrapping and engraving on certain products such as iPads and iPods. Apple also served up some Read More

5 apps for Black Friday
Mini_discussion_bubble TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - Posted Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:00:00 UTC +00:00
It's time to get your plastic out, and your game face on as Black Friday is almost here. The busiest shopping day in the year is two days away, and we have singled out five apps that'll help you find the best deals. When it's not Black Friday, DealNews is one of the best websites for finding deals on everything from clothes to cameras. On Black Friday, though, DealNews has one of the best apps to track individual deals as they are announced. Besides deals, the app also lets you add deals to a shopping list, search for specific products and even pull up online deals from a retailer's website. The best non-deal feature is the app's ability to find local stores so you'll know where to go when that HDTV hits a rock bottom price at Best Buy.

Apple Store's new self-checkout: Nice, but not flawless
Mini_discussion_bubble CNET iPhone Atlas - Posted Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:57:31 UTC +00:00
Apple's new EasyPay lets you check out your own items at the Apple Store. Apple's new EasyPay self-checkout feature lets you pay for your own items at the Apple store, but it doesn't yet have all the kinks worked out--at least in my experience. The EasyPay feature requires you to download the latest 2.0 version of the Apple Store app. To buy an item, you're supposed to scan its barcode with your iPhone's camera, at which point it's added to your shopping cart. You then pay for your goods using the credit card associated with your Apple ID and iTunes account. Beyond letting you pay for your own items, the app allows you to order a product online and then pick it up at your nearby store. But it was EasyPay that I was especially keen to try out. Over the weekend I headed off to an Apple store where I Read More
‘Apple Store’ App Now Offers New Self-Checkout System for Apple Retail Stores
Mini_discussion_bubble iSource - Posted Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:47:45 UTC +00:00
Apple recently updated their Apple Store iOS application and it now supports self-checkout at the company’s retail stores. This app now allows customers visiting any Apple retail store to snap a picture of a shelf-stocked items’ barcode and purchase the item with their Apple ID/iTunes Store accounts. Here is what Apple has to say about the app: What’s New in Version 2.0 - Personal Pickup: Buy in the app and choose to pick up your order at any Apple Retail Store. Most in-stock orders are available for pickup within an hour. (U.S. only) - EasyPay: Purchase select accessories in store quickly by scanning the barcode and completing your transaction right in the app. (U.S. only, requires iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S) - Track your stuff: View the status of current and previous orders from the order status section in the More tab. - Additional international support (Canada, China).

Apple Store 2.0 brings Personal Pickup and EasyPay
Mini_discussion_bubble TheAppleBlog - Posted Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:36:23 UTC +00:00
The rumored update to the Apple Store app for iPhone, which we noted last week could revolutionize retail, has arrived, albeit a bit later than expected. Apple Store 2.0 brings many improvements, the most noteworthy among them being Personal Pickup and EasyPay services. As reported, the app now allows you to purchase items directly for in-store pickup, available within an hour if it’s in stock at the local store of your choosing. If an item isn’t available, the expected ship times listed in the online store appear to apply. You can also now order custom Mac configurations (with more RAM, bigger hard drives, etc.) for in-store pickup through the app. The other big new addition is EasyPay, which allows you to scan the bar codes of items you wish to purchase in-store with your iPhone’s camera (iPhone 4 or 4S only) and then pay for them directly in the app through your iTunes account.

Version 2.0: Apple-Store-App lässt Kunden per iPhone bezahlen
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhoneBlog.de - Posted Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:32:47 UTC +00:00
Mit Apples Store-App (kostenlos; App Store-Link) und einer iPhone-Kamera scannen US-Kunden Produkte im Ladengeschäft, die sie anschließend über ihren iTunes-Account bezahlen (“EasyPay“). Außerdem lassen sich alle eingepflegten Retail-Artikel zum Abholen vorbestellen (“Personal Pickup“). International lernt die App in Version 2.0 (lediglich) eine Sendungsverfolgung hinzu (“Track your stuff“). Wie genau die Verkäufer mit der ‘EasyPay’-Methode umgangen werden sollen und trotzdem sichergestellt wird, dass die im Verkaufsregal zugänglichen Produkte regulär erfasst und bezahlt werden, geht aus der iTunes-Beschreibung nicht hervor. Ein Praxistest aus den USA wird jedoch nicht lange auf sich warten lassen. Für Macs, iPhones und iPods ist ohnehin ein Kontakt mit dem Verkaufspersonal notwendig. Apple besitzt mittlerweile 357 Retail Stores in 11 Ländern. Als Steve Jobs 2001 dessen Konzept vorstellte, wurde er dafür (vorsichtig ausgedrückt) belächelt. Heutzutage macht kein anderes US-Geschäft mehr Umsatz pro Quadratmeter seiner Ladenfläche. In 2010, 233.3 million people walked through the doors of an Apple Retail Store. Read More
“Apple Store” App Updated with Self-Checkout and Personal Pickup

posted by Trey Trawick on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 1:54 am.   As rumored, Apple has updated their Apple Store application with EasyPay self-checkout and personal pickup. Accessories can now be purchased without having to hunt for an associate by scanning the item’s barcode and paying within the app using your iTunes account. More expensive items will still need to retrieved by a blue shirt, but the personal pickup option will ease the process by allowing you to purchase orders online for local pick up. In-stock products should be ready “within and hour”, but engraved or customized items will take longer. What’s New in Version 2.0 Read More

Apple to Bring Self-Checkout to Retail Stores

posted by Trey Trawick on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 1:21 pm.   Over the past few weeks, Apple has made some minor enhancements to their chain of retail stores, making the purchasing process much quicker. Customers can pickup online orders at nearby locations (select cities only), and now, Apple is rumored to be rolling out an update to their Apple Store iOS application to allow customers to check themselves out without the need for employee assistance. It’s unknown how Apple will differentiate between paying customers and shoplifters, but we’re sure that some method of purchase confirmation will be used—and for larger items like Macs, a blue-shirt will be necessary to retrieve the item from the stock room.

TiPb Picks of the Week for October 8, 2011
Mini_discussion_bubble The iPhone Blog - Posted Sat, 08 Oct 2011 18:09:39 UTC +00:00
By Leanna Lofte, Saturday, Oct 8, 2011 | Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, most fun and useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they’re fair game. To see what we picked, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break! I thought about what I wanted to talk about for this week’s pick, and I decided to take a step back and look more at the bigger picture than a single application. I thought about how profoundly my day-to-day life has changed and about influences in the past few years at Nickelfish, and no week seemed more appropriate than this one to recognize the massive change the iPhone brought to users.

Looking back at the iPhone 4S pre-order launch
Mini_discussion_bubble TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - Posted Fri, 07 Oct 2011 16:30:00 UTC +00:00
The iPhone 4S online pre-order went live last night, and the experience was hectic for me. Sales started about 40 minutes past the original estimate and customers vented their frustration on Twitter. Once live, Apple's store site was quickly overwhelmed by customers as was the Apple Store app. Most problems appear to have been had by US AT&T customers -- Verizon customers, for example, and customers outside the United States seem to have made their purchases rather quickly and moved on. Starting at about 5AM, Apple temporarily switched to a reservation system instead of a purchase system. Apple promised, "We will email you at this address when it's time to complete your order. At that time, you will return to the Apple Store to confirm pricing and plan selection." Unfortunately, many of those reservation orders encountered snags this morning and customers were directed to complete their purchases at retail Apple stores. Read More

Apple Planning to Launch Mobile Web App for Online Store

Have you tried Apple’s official Apple Store app? It’s been available for free in the App Store for months, and it’s a great tool for browsing Apple’s online store and scheduling appointments at your local Apple retail store. Apparently, Apple is planning to launch a mobile web app for its online store experience. This web app would presumably be based on HTML5, and it’s expected to roll out for users next year. According to 9to5Mac, the Apple store web app will be optimized for browsing and making online purchases from an iPhone or iPad, and the new interface will make the store “experience even simpler.” “Over the past months, we have observed Apple gradually shelving and re-touching a project to replace the native Apple Store application with a mobile web version of the Apple Online Store.

Apple Refresh Apple Stores, Reach Version 2.0
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhoneFreak - Posted Mon, 23 May 2011 18:02:41 UTC +00:00
Seeing as I talked about it last week, I thought I should write a follow up post on what happened.  I’m referring to the super-secret Apple meetings scheduled to take place this past weekend, and whisperings of special events, promotions or even a product launch to coincide with Apple retail’s 10th anniversary. As I thought, there was no product launch, instead Apple gave their stores a birthday makeover, a move dubbed ‘retail 2.0′.  So, what’s new in 2.0?  Um, not a lot really, as all that seems to have happened is the traditional paper explanatory sheets next to all the products have been replaced by iPad 2s. Wrapped in special plexiglass holders, the new iPad 2 point-of-sale documentation provides an interactive experience and the option to summon a real, live person should you need to take the ‘interaction’ to the next level.  It’s all very pretty, and will undoubtedly sell more Read More
Apple Retail 2.0 Both Uses the iPad to Sell, and Sells the iPad
Mini_discussion_bubble TheAppleBlog - Posted Mon, 23 May 2011 16:40:02 UTC +00:00
Apple significantly updated its retail store experience over the weekend, and the star of the show (which you can see more of at AppleInsider) for Apple Retail 2.0 is clearly the iPad. iPads are now in place as interactive customer displays stationed in permanent enclosures next to Mac and other Apple products, where they provide information and retail-specific functions. The new iPad displays are distinct from the iPads on display for customers to try out; their home button doesn’t do anything, and the tablets appear to be running a custom version of iOS software that is specifically designed for the Apple Retail environment. The iPad software displays information for the products they’re next to, including pricing, technical information and features. You can also compare different models from the iPad consoles, check out a section aimed at new Mac users (who continue to be a key target audience for Apple Stores), get Read More
Apple updates its iOS retail app with in-store tools

Apple's iOS retail app now lets customers see store-specific information if they're using it in an Apple store. Following the hardware updates to its retail stores over the weekend, Apple today rolled out an updated version of its retail application for iOS (iTunes) that adds interactive features for users who are actually inside of an Apple store. Now, when walking around an Apple store, users can fire up the app to ask for help. This utilizes the same system the company installed over the weekend using its Smart Signs, which alerts retail store employees that a user needs assistance. However unlike those efforts, users have to do the legwork to go find an employee at a designated location. Along with assistance about products, the app also lists availability for the Genius Bar, including when the next opening is. There's also a schedule of any workshops or events that are going on Read More

By – According to recent reports, Apple has been working to update their retail store fronts for their 10th anniversary. That’s right, the first Apple Store location opened just over ten years ago, feeling old yet? As always with Apple, they are always working to fully integrate the computer experience with their store experience. This time around they have updated their iOS Apple Store app to include a few new features. Let’s take a quick look at the two new features included in this update. 1) Enhanced In-Store Mode Apple has updated the In-Store mode so that users can use their iPhone or iPad to more quickly get support at their local Apple retail locations.

Apple Updates ‘Apple Store’ Application, Now with BTO Options, More

Apple has updated their “Apple Store” iOS application to now accept build-to-order Mac configurations, and also updates the in-store features, to better integrate with Apple’s recent retail overhaul. This update is still just for the iPhone and iPod touch- no universal support for iPads. The app is however, now available in several European countries, which is new, considering that the application was U.S. only since it’s original release. So, it allows users to customize their Mac orders, but more importantly it seems to now echo the same feature set as the new iPad-based kiosks Apple just installed in their stores. Read More

In line with our report from several days ago, Apple today updated its application for iOS devices [App Store] with new support for build-to-order Mac customizations.

The application is also now rolling out in a number of European countries. The app had been exclusive to the United States until today's update. Unfortunately for iPad users, the Apple Store application is not yet universal and thus offers only a single view optimized for the screen size of the iPhone and iPod touch, although the app of course works on the iPad as well.

Mac Prices Australia reports that iPads are being used throughout Apple Stores to display product information, compare products and even call Apple Store employes to customers who need assistance. Specifically, the paper displays that have stood next to laptops, etc. have been replaced by iPads. Also, store employees are wearing party hats. Additionally, visiting store.apple.com on an iOS device now prompts the user to download the official Apple Store app (screenshot after the break). [Apparently, this is not new. -Ed.] As many speculated, Apple took its retail store anniversary as the opportunity to launch this change. It sounds like a good time, but not a massive change.

Consumer Guide: Where to Buy a New Mac
Mini_discussion_bubble TheAppleBlog - Posted Mon, 29 Nov 2010 18:30:19 UTC +00:00
You know you want a new Mac, but where to buy? There’s no shortage of sources, but when it comes to getting great service and warranty support, the options narrow considerably. Here’s a list of where your money will go the furthest. It’s a popular option, especially with Apple’s aggressive retail expansion of late. However, its popularity can be its greatest weakness. If you go into an Apple store during a peak time, expect a large crowd and long wait — and not much personal space. Personally I feel a bit awkward discussing a large transaction being elbow-to-elbow with others. A major advantage of buying from an Apple Store is that they usually have the best stock levels. And, like the App Store, everything in the Apple Store is curated, and the staff are more likely to be familiar with all the products. They’ll spend as much time with you as Read More

I just don't get Quebec and all that French language when English is Canada's main language just like I don't get Celine Dion doing a duet with R. Kelly because all it did was piss me off!! Dear Iglad, Too bad you don't know a lot about history...One day you will be speaking spanish in US and then you will understand why we still fight to keep our french alive! Jean-Francois LaferteTerrebonne Quebec So close to my office... it'll be my ruin ! There is another Apple Store opening this weekend in Mishawaka, Indiana. The doors open at 10:00 Saturday morning.

White iPhone 4 Available for Reservation
Mini_discussion_bubble iPod Touch Fans - Posted Tue, 26 Oct 2010 18:14:54 UTC +00:00
posted by Trey Trawick on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at 11:14 am.   Originally submitted by i.think.different Our favorite Cupertino company has updated their ‘Apple Store‘ application with a few new additions, most notably is the option to reserve a white iPhone 4. The device is still listed as “currently unavailable for order or in-store pickup” on Apple’s website, but it’s possible that this may soon change. It’s been just over four months since the iPhone 4 was released, and users have been waiting patiently for the elusive white version to finally be released. Apparently, the parts manufactures are having issues matching the home button to the rest of the phone, and since Jobs is a perfectionist, he refuses to let anything less-than-perfect make its way out the door. (Except for one.) This change could be meaningless, but hopefully Apple has figured out the issue, and will ship the white model before it looses its Read More
Moby Trick: White iPhone 4's Make It To Apple Store App...Sort Of
Mini_discussion_bubble iSmashPhone - Posted Tue, 26 Oct 2010 17:06:58 UTC +00:00
By – Here's the good news: the just-released v1.1 of the Apple Store app includes listings to reserve the elusive white iPhone 4, in your choice of 16 or 32 gigabyte capacity. Here's the bad news: tapping on one of the reservation listings produces the message "Because of high demand, we are not currently taking iPhone reservations."  (What, you thought they'd solved the manufacturing/color-matching issues overnight?) So if you want the tease of a white i4 without the chance to actually, y'know, order the damn thing, download the updated store app today. Related Posts Read More

Ab dem morgigen Mittwoch vertreiben auch O2 (Affiliate-Link) und Vodafone (Affiliate-Link) das iPhone in Deutschland. Die Tarife sind hinlänglich bekannt, deshalb jedoch noch lange nicht übersichtlicher. Dirk Bergel hat mir seine selbst zusammengestellte (Preis-)Übersicht der vergangenen Telekom-Tarifstruktur sowie den zukünftigen ‘Complete Mobile’-Verträgen im Vergleich zu O2 und Vodafone geschickt. Die umfangreiche Tabelle gibt es als PDF unter diesem Klick (57kb)! Update: Der Link zur aktualisierten Version findet sich in unseren Kommentaren. /Update-Ende (Danke, Dirk!) Als weitere Neuigkeit im Tarif-Jungle präsentiert sich am heutigen Dienstag folgender Werbebanner auf Apple.de, der für einen Eigenvertrieb ohne Mobilfunkprovider-Bindung als net- und simlockfreies Gerät sprechen könnte. “Nur 629,00 €” deuten auf das 16GB-Modell hin, das direkt im deutschen (Online-)Store (Affiliate-Link) zu erwerben sein könnte.

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 Category: iPod, iPhone, and iPad Gems: Apps, Games + More Welcome to a special Apple application-focused edition of iPhone + iPad Gems! Over the last two weeks, Apple has released both new and updated apps for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users, expanding both its growing collection of shopping tools and the capabilities of its web-based MobileMe subscription service. The four applications we look at today all depend on an active Internet connection, and include Apple Store, Find My iPhone, MobileMe Gallery and MobileMe iDisk, tools to locate Apple products and access media from wherever you may be located in the world. Our top pick is the new version of MobileMe iDisk, which has seen significant improvements for iPad and iOS 4 users in particular, but all of the applications merited at least our general recommendation.

Apple Store App Released From Apple And Obviously FREE
Mini_discussion_bubble The App Era - Posted Thu, 17 Jun 2010 06:30:19 UTC +00:00
June 16th, 2010 James Isabel Between you and me, I think I’ve figured out hours in advanced what the new “App of the Week” for tomorrow is. Not one to shy with conflict of interest, I’m pretty sure it will be the just released Apple Store App (FREE): Frankly I don’t really see much use for this app other than its iPhone dock clutter. Although, it reserves one feature AT&T couldn’t figure out themselves: iPhone 4 pre-ordering right from the app! “The Apple Store app is also the easiest way to buy or reserve your new iPhone — right from your current iPhone. You can do it in just a few taps, without entering your AT&T account information. Order your new iPhone from the Apple Online Store and it’s shipped to you free and ready to use.

Apple Apologizes for iPhone 4 Pre-Order Fiasco
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhone Savior - Posted Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:01:50 UTC +00:00
In sharp contrast to the incredible success of the iPad pre-ordering process and subsequent launch of Apple's magical device, iPhone 4 pre-order day will be remembered as an epic comedy of errors and extreme frustration for many. Apple, Inc. issued an official apology in the form of a press release on Wednesday, aimed at the disappointed hordes of hopeful iPhone 4 customers shut out of pre-ordering the new video phone set to launch on Thursday, June 24th. The latest iPhone 4 shipping date for the less fortunate, is now posted as July 14th on , which may remain a moving target if high demand continues. iPhone 4 pre-orders rocketed past 600 thousand on its opening day, even after Apple announced early in the morning that the white model would not be available to order for the official launch. That massive onslaught of consumer demand literally shut down AT&T's sales system, generating Read More

My Experience Pre-Ordering a $742.69 iPhone 4
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhone Download Blog - Posted Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:48:03 UTC +00:00
Like me, you probably spent a good part of yesterday refreshing Apple’s pre-order page, filling in the information required and getting various frustrating error messages. Besides trying to pre-order the iPhone 4, I spent most of my day at the hospital with my fiancee who was meeting with a couple specialists (nothing major). I frenetically checked my iPhone every 2 minutes or so and tried countless times to go through the pre-order process. At some point I heard rumors that AT&T was running out of iPhones and I thought it wouldn’t be too long until Apple does too. In the meanwhile I had received several tips from people on Twitter telling me the Apple Store application that Apple had released was working great for pre-ordering. So I decided to use this app to reserve my iPhone for pickup, instead of pre-ordering it for delivery as this option wasn’t available. In less Read More
How to Pre-Order Your iPhone 4 During The iPhonecalypse
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhone Download Blog - Posted Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:52:08 UTC +00:00
If you’re one of the many that were not successful pre-ordering your iPad today because of all the AT&T fiasco, then their might be some light at the end of the tunnel. It’s official, AT&T is sold out of iPhone 4 pre-orders for the launch day. Your only hope is now Apple. At the time I am writing this, Apple’s website is still crashing when trying to pre-order an iPhone 4. From my personal experience, if you want to get to pre-order the iPhone 4, that was released this morning. You won’t be able to per-order to get your iPhone delivered, however you will be able to reserve your iPhone 4 for pickup. I just went through the process again and I was able to reserve another iPhone 4 (which I’m going to cancel right away). Be careful though, reserving an iPhone doesn’t guarantee that you will be able to get Read More

AT&T Sold Out of iPhone Pre-Order Stock for June 24th Launch
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhone Savior - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 22:44:07 UTC +00:00
AT&T has released an official statement announcing that iPhone 4 pre-orders set to arrive on June 24th are completely sold out. Customers who place orders going forward will receive their devices sometime on or after June 25th. "Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We'll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24." Some customers willing to wait in long AT&T lines will get unclaimed iPhone 4 stock on a first-come, first serve basis when it launches on June 24th. The official app, that also launched today, is Read More
New Apple Store App Helps Apple Users Shop For More Apple Products Using Apple Products

By Ben Harvell on June 15th, 2010 Apple Store app hits the App Store to make those impulse buys that tiny bit easier Apple has launched its new Apple Store app for iPhone and iPod touch that allows users to browse Apple’s online store via their portable devices. Aimed to launch at the same time as iPhone 4 pre-orders, most users have had to put up with the Apple’s customary “We’ll be back soon” sticky note for much of the day with high demand for the next generation of iPhone bringing servers to a standstill. The free app offers customers (in the US only for the time being) a convenient way to browse the Apple Store and even access Genius Bar support from within the app. Apple Store is sure to benefit those who take advantage of Apple’s in-store training and Personal Shopping services and, as you would expect, looks the Read More

Apple Store Now Available for Download in the Apple App Store [Digital Daily]
Mini_discussion_bubble AllThingsD - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:49:16 UTC +00:00
Want to shop in the Apple Store? Yes, there’s an app for that, too. Tuesday morning, Apple (AAPL) released a new iOS application that brings its online store to the iPhone and iPod touch. Using it, you can browse, reserve or purchase products, make reservations at the Genius Bar and sign up for in-store workshops and One to One appointments. A wise move, putting the Apple Store on the company’s mobile devices. Turning every iPhone into a mobile storefront will certainly do nothing but help sales–and streamline the in-store appointment check-in process as well. At present, the app is available only for the iPhone and iPod touch and only in the U.S., though I imagine we’ll see iPad and international versions soon enough. Read More
Buy the New iPhone from your Current iPhone? There's an App for That
Mini_discussion_bubble ReadWriteWeb - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:31:12 UTC +00:00
It's "pre-order your new iPhone day" and just in time, Apple has released its own branded iPhone application called simply "Apple Store." Not to be confused with "App Store," which houses the 225,000 mobile applications (at last count), this new iPhone application instead allows mobile shoppers to browse through official Apple inventory from their handsets, shopping for Mac computers, iPods, iPhones, iPads, accessories and software. And yes, if you want to pre-order the new iPhone 4, you can do that too. As long as you're running a relatively new version of the iPhone software (iOS version 3.0 or higher) and are located in the United States, you can download the new "Apple Store" application to your handset now. In addition to serving as a online mobile storefront, the new application also lets customers find nearby Apple stores, make reservations at the Genius Bar and register for hands-on workshops and personal shopping Read More
Apple Delivers New Retail Store App
Mini_discussion_bubble ModMyi.com - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:12:23 UTC +00:00
While some thought yesterday's rumor would remain just that, Apple surprised many today by actually releasing its new and much-anticipated retail store app. As covered yesterday on MMi, the new iOS app (creatively dubbed "Apple Store")will serve as a veritable hybrid between a mobile App retail store and a so-called concierge-like service. Available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, the app has all the basics covered. You can locate local store, purchase or preorder products, peruse customer reviews, and see what the latest happenings are at Apple. As expected, Apple is making it possible for Apple fans to stay on top of promotions and other in-store events through the app, which can also facilitate appointments for Personal Shopping, Genius Bar or One to One sessions. It isn't exactly clear yet how the apparent support of notifications will work, although it is expected that "appointment reminders" or other pertinent updates could Read More
Apple Store app for iPhone now in App Store
Mini_discussion_bubble The iPhone Blog - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:20:37 UTC +00:00
Looks like Apple has finally released an Apple Store mobile application for the iPhone.  I would have thought we’d see this a lot sooner but we all know Apple.  Looks like you can not only browse the store, but search for Apple Stores close to you and even make appointments with the Genius Bar. As of now, it’s only showing up in the US app store, so those of you in other countries, feel free to let us know when you see it show up in yours.  Given iPhone 4 pre-order madness is upon us, I can’t access the Apple Store to test it so if it gives you problems just wait a while and try again when the the pre-order insanity dies down. Jump to the break to see some basic screenshots, and I’ll add more once the Apple Online Store is up and running again. Read More

As Rumored, Apple Store App Jumps Into App Store

Posted 06/15/2010 at 4:41am | by J.R. Bookwalter God bless those rumors, they were right on the mark yet again. Although the online Apple Store is down at this writing after being crushed by overnight iPhone 4 and updated Mac mini orders, an official Apple Store app has indeed appeared in the App Store and is available to download now.MacRumors is reporting that the official Apple Store app has appeared and is now available for download, absolutely free. Strangely, the app is not universal -- it’s only optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch, although it should run just fine on the iPad in pixel-doubled mode. At this exact moment in time, the app is fairly useless, unfortunately -- it just brings up the same yellow “We’ll be back soon” sticky feature on Apple.com, following an early crush of iPhone 4 and updated Mac mini orders overnight. But that should resolve Read More

With New Software, Apple Opens 100M Mobile Stores
Mini_discussion_bubble GigaOm - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:50:00 UTC +00:00
Apple today introduced free Apple Store software for iPads, iPod touches and iPhones that enables customers to shop the retailer directly from the mobile devices. The new application supports browsing and shopping for Apple wares complete with user reviews and detailed product specifications, much like Apple’s retail website. Customers can also create appointments for in-store services such as Personal Shopping, Genius Bar or One-on-One training. Up to now, one could always shop the Apple Store or make in-store appointments through a web browser, so in that regards, the software isn’t adding any new functionality. But Apple’s retail web channel can be clunky in a small browser window, and clunky doesn’t sell hardware or software. Apple products and shopping are as much about the experience as they are about performance and features. Apple could have created a mobile web version of its store, but by building a clean mobile storefront for use Read More
Apple launches the Apple Store app
Mini_discussion_bubble TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - Posted Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:30:00 UTC +00:00
As rumored, Apple has released an official retail store app. Simply called "Apple Store," the new app lets users shop the full line of products available at The Apple Store. But it's more than shopping. You can use the app to read customer reviews, find an Apple Retail Store in your area and monitor in-store events. Speaking of the brick-and-mortar stores, if you're planning a visit you can first use the Apple Store app to arrange personal shopping, schedule a Genius Bar appointment or organize a One to One session. And we thought those vending machines were dangerously convenient. After years of growing accustomed to the easy of "tap and buy" with the App Store, it's a bit frightening to have a Mac mini or the like just as accessible. Apple Store for iPhone is free and available now. Read More
