You should edit that picture to hide your Serial Number...

Don’t be too harsh. We have someone literally posting full credit card detail on Facebook and Twitter (card number, expiry date and CVV) and complain people using that card to buy expensive stuff, TWICE.

I saw 77 updates, most of these apps have been updated previously and no explanation was given as to why they should be updated again.
It is high time apple consider the previous ways of updating apps both on the devices and on the computers.

What do you mean "previous ways"? Do you mean manually update? Because you can still manually do it. I have my apps on manually update and update apps about once a week. It's because I like it when apps are in RAM so they open instantly and I've found that auto update empties RAM during the night.

You got 300 apps on you iOS device?!

I got 14 updates when i woke up this morning, although i gotta say that i am obsessed with updates so i check multiple times a day to see if i have updates available. 😅

Slightly over 300 lol.

After updates to those apps - they don't show the blue dot indicating an unused / new app

What happened about "Taking things easier and concentrate on building better software than release new features" new approach by Apple?

I got 64 apps and feel its too cluttered a lot of them extremely rarely used. Ican probably shave 20 off easy. to each his own.

I usually update apps manually daily. Woke up this morning to 45 updates, most ever. Thought it was odd so ignored all the updates. Came back later in the day to manually update again and there were only 5. Huh?

I’m guessing all mine updated themselves(?). I haven’t had any updates I’ve noticed.

Yup, 6 updated over the past 2 days, in the background. Nothing else back to mid-May.

He probably mean updating the app via iTunes by downloading updated app once and connect each device to a single iTunes library and sync app updates. Huge bandwidth saver for people with limited data plan and multiple iOS devices.

What?! But... how?! Are those tiny apps? You have a 1TB device?! What's going on here.

*extremely confused*

I have so many questions right now.
