Apple Store app updated for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

The Apple Store app, one of the few first-party iOS apps left untouched when iOS 8 launched last month, was finally updated on Wednesday when Apple added support for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Apple Store version 3.0.1 is a minor update to the direct iOS portal to Apple's online storefront, but it comes with graphical improvements important to new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users.

As seen in the screenshots above, the new Apple Store update is now fully compatible with the larger 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch Retina HD displays found in Apple's new iPhone 6 lineup. Prior to today's release, the app leaned on iOS 8's upscaling feature to upsize fonts and other graphical assets not native to the higher resolution screens.

In addition to iPhone 6 support, Apple Store version 3.0.1 contains an unnamed iOS compatibility update.

When Apple released iOS 8 in September, the new mobile operating system came with updates to the company's selection of first-party apps, including Safari, Messages and the iWork suite, among others. The Apple Store app was noticeably left out of the refresh process.

The latest Apple Store app version is a free 25MB download from the iOS App Store.
