Apple Begins Advertising Stock iOS Apps in App Store Search Results
Posted October 31, 2013 at 6:16pm by iClarified
Apple has started advertising stock iOS apps in App Store search results, notes MacStories.
When performing a search for several common phrases like web browser, sms, apps, or internet, the first search result is a link to visit or open Apple's stock application. For example, when searching for 'web browser' the first result is Safari with a link to 'Open Safari'.
It's possible that some inexperienced users may find this helpful but for most it's an extra swipe to get to the content they're actually searching for.
