Apple Plans to Launch Mobile Web Version Online Store
Although apple provide online store iOS application, the application can make iPhone and iPod Touch users conveniently use the apple online store, now Apple intends to make online shopping experience more simple. The new site, which could arrive sometime in 2012, was first reported by 9 To 5 Mac.
In the past few months, we observed that Apple wants to use mobile webpage edition online shop online store instead of the native application. Now it looks like that apple is towarding to this direction and plan to release the magic mobile webpage edition online store next year.
It is reported that this new online store will showcase the ability of apple in the powerful webpage, revolutionary program experience. Moreover the new webpage program will mimic the native iOS applications today to a full extent. But there are a big difference lies in that the webpage edition online store will be more likely to visit. And the users do not have to go to download the app if the user wants to purchase a product.
We do have some concerns about some of the functionality from the native application being ported over to the mobile web version. Notably the feature that provides users with functionality (shown above) based on the physical Apple retail that they are currently visiting. Perhaps Apple will keep the App Store version around for that feature or will figure out a way to move it to the web browser. After all, iOS Safari can access a user’s current location.
But whether the program can completely replace the original webpage’s all functions is still doubtful. In particularly, the primary application can judge whether you in the Apple Store through your current position. And apple can also use a mobile version of Safari location function to determine the location of the user.
Apple plans to debut the mobile version of the online store sometime in 2012. As aforementioned, the project has been shelved multiple times before, so it is possible that the project will once again be moved to the sideline in favor of other product development. The project has actually been announced and then shelved a couple times previously, according to reports, so seeing this one actually emerge in 2012 may not actually happen as projected. Still, though, I find myself wondering if this is an unnecessary upgrade, a “leave well enough alone” sort of situation. It’s not as though Apple’s current Apple Store app was buggy or particularly difficult to work with, so why fix what isn’t really broken?
But that’s why it’s great to have you guys around, to ask those questions. Are you thinking that the Apple Store mobile version could use some tweaks and upgrades? What do you think would be a boost to the Apple Store’s capability? Or do you think that this is just a waste of Apple’s time and development capability? No matter how you feel about it, we welcome your opinion down in the comments section below!
Additionally, as an apple user, especially for an ipod user, you maybe met some problems such as how to download music from ipod to computer, how to transfer ipod to mac etc, if so, you can come to our ipod to computer center for you , I bet from here you can have a extra harvest.
