A Look at iOS 11's Entirely Redesigned App Store

Looks like the extra screen space and possible 120 hz could be good use for this.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. If it's faster and more stable, I'm good with it. I do like how they separated games out straight away. It's a gigantic category that deserves special treatment.

The today tab is like an app news feed, which is kinda cool. With the current store design I find myself going long periods without opening it because there is simply not much incentive to do so unless looking for a specific new app. This view should help increase usage and discovery.

Also, getting some video previews without having to make extra taps is a nice feature.

Now that's funny!

Am i the only one that misses button shapes that are easier to tap? I actually HATE tapping text (e.g. tapping on the word 'back' instead of a button to go back)... I almost always miss it on the first try. I feel that these text heavy interfaces are not ideal for touchscreens. That was definitely a plus about iOS's skeuomorphic origins, every interaction with on screen objects felt more "direct" and real. Anyone has any thoughts on this?

Also, unrelated but has anyone noticed that the keyboard/spellcheck/suggestions have been getting worse and worse with each iOS release? I used to be able to type much more accurately around 4-5 years ago, but then it got much worse... is it just me?

Serious replies only please!

I really don't like it.

I originally slated it, then tried it ... LOVE IT!

One of iOS 11's boldest changes is the revamped, redesigned App Store that dramatically changes the look and feel of Apple's app marketplace. Aimed at boosting app discovery, the new App Store doubles down on games and splits apps and games into their own sections for the first time.

We went hands-on with the new App Store to give MacRumors readers an idea of what to expect when iOS 11 rolls out to the public this fall.

As seen in the video above, the iOS 11 App Store looks and feels quite a bit different than the iOS 10 App Store. In addition to separate tabs for Games and Apps, there's a new "Today" view that's updated on a daily basis with new content.

The Today view features an App of the Day and a Game of the Day, plus a selection of other content chosen by Apple's App Store editors. That content can range from featured games and apps to interviews with developers to tips on how to use various apps.

Individual app pages have also been updated. Apple is putting more of a focus on reviews, distinctions like Editor's Choice are better highlighted, and content can be shown off with multiple videos. There are also new options that allow things like new in-app purchases and levels to be highlighted, letting developers alert users when apps are updated with new features.

Along with Today, Games, and Apps, there are also the standard sections for Updates and Search, both of which have the same functionality as the current App Store.

The new App Store will roll out in the fall when iOS 11 sees a public release. Registered developers can check out the new App Store right away, while public beta testers will get access in late June via an iOS 11 public beta.

So Apple gave users tools to stop video auto play in Safari but they added it to the App Store?

The App store is a promotional platform specifically, so there is a logic to that.

Anyone know what the dinosaur app is shown on the image in the OP?
(Pretty sure there used to be equivalent web pages for App Store listings but can’t see how to search them for the text in this listing).
