Already known: App Store changes
ADVERTISING: Soon you’ll get up ads in your search results.
in a little unusual vending Apple announced last week upcoming changes to the App Store. This is because they supposedly had so much else to talk about on tonight’s event.
The great news is that subscriptions be extended to all categories of apps, whereas until now only been certain type of apps that have been able to offer this, including apps like Netflix, Spotify, news apps, some cloud services (like Dropbox) and datingapper, writes Mashable.
for users this means that they instead of just having to pay a lump sum for an app, they will have to conclude a subscription. Exactly how it will work, remains to be seen – but several have already expressed skepticism that they end up paying more for apps they have used for years everything.
For developers it means they have to make brand new apps every time they bring major updates (typically sure they get left money for the effort).
US Macworld has a nice review of the changes here.
In addition to the new subscription options open Apple also up for ads on search results.
