Ok, now this is sort of a nifty update.
On Wednesday, Apple released version 2.6 of its iOS Apple Store program. The new version, a 6.1 megabyte download, has been updated with bug fixes and offers a new feature that will notify you when you’re eligible for upgrade pricing on a new iPhone. You can even buy your new iPhone directly with the app after receiving the notification since all you need is your Apple ID credentials to do so.
The updated Apple Store will now help you keep track of your shipments and send you notifications about important updates, and when it has been delivered.
The iOS Apple Store program 2.6 requires iOS 5.0 or later to install and run.
Cool stuff and I’m waiting for the upgrade price for my beloved-but-battered iPhone 4S handset…
