Great to see they finally fixed the App Store in
iOS 18.4, something was messed up since iOS 17, maybe a memory leak, it would get worse over time until you force closed the App Store. It got a little better with iOS 18, but it was still an issue.
When updating multiple apps it would take some time until they were moved down to recently updated, although the app finished updating.
During this time if you tried to explore the App Store before the app was moved down to recently updated, it wouldn't load the information, even on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, i noticed this ever since I got it out of the box and set it up. My old iPhone 8+ that was still on iOS 16 wasn't affected by this, but every other device that was on iOS 17 or 18 was affected.
I did upgrade to iPhone 16 Pro Max and this one didn't really seem to have been affected or the issue was barely noticeable before iOS 18.4.
Too bad for devices that are stuck on iOS 17 like the iPad Pro 10.5" (2017), that one is the most affected, it's a real struggle to update apps on it, have to force close the App Store multiple times. iOS 16 should have been the last version for this iPad.
