Apple updates iPad App Store with faster UI ahed of iPad 3 launch

Apple today (March 6th) revamped the user interface of the iPad version of its iOS App Store. This could be in preparation of a Third Gen iPad! which is expected to be announced just under 18 hrs from now.

The App Store facelift brings minor tweaks in how Top Selling Apps are displayed and a new horizontal scrolling UI among other small changes reports Appleinsider.

While the majority of changes are superficial, the new top-selling paid and free app layout allows for greatly reduced load times. Instead of displaying the top 25 apps for each category, the new store only lists six apps at a time, which could explain why the “display more” option is so quick.
