iOS 13tab, split Games and Apps into their own tabs, and
redesigned app pages. In iOS 13, the App Store is going
through another significant revision. It’s not quite as
big a reorganization as in iOS 11, but it’s a significant
change to how you update and manage your apps.
Here’s what’s new in the iOS 13 App Store.Dark Mode (naturally)
Of course, the App Store in iOS 13 supports Dark
Mode, just as all of Apple’s built-in apps do. You’ll see
white text on a black background throughout, with the
light grey backgrounds of highlight boxes and cards
replaced by dark grey.Welcome, Apple Arcade
The biggest change to the App Store in iOS 13 is the
replacement of the Updates tab at the bottom with
Apple Arcade. (The Today, Games, Apps, and Search
tabs remain unchanged.)
This subscription service will offer over 100 games
with no in-app purchases, compatibility with iPhone,
iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, and Family Sharing included.
We don’t yet know what it will cost, but giving Apple
Arcade its own tab in the App Store is a pretty big push.App Updates have moved
If Arcade replaces the Updates tab, where do you go
to update apps? You’ll now see your Apple ID profile
picture in the upper right of every App Store tab. Tap on
that to be taken to your Account page.
