The iOS App Store and iTunes Store updated to version 10.3 just moments after Apple announced its iCloud service. The update includes auto download functionality as well as a “Purchased” tab that lets users redownload applications, multimedia, and other content purchased previously through iTunes.
The new automatic downloads feature pushes recently purchased iTunes content to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
Users can also view and redownload software in the iOS App Store by selecting the “Updates” tab. From there, in addition to available updates, the “Purchased” area can be viewed.
The new iTunes also sports iBookstore functionality,, allowing for “an unabridged browsing and shopping experience.”
