November 8th 2011

Apple has pushed out an major update to its own store app. Apple Store 2.0 now allows U.S. shoppers to buy something on the app and pick it up in-stock items in store within an hour. Also new is what sounds like a self-check out system where iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S users can scan a barcode to purchase items.

- EasyPay: Purchase select accessories in store quickly by scanning the barcode and completing your transaction right in the app. (U.S. only, requires iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S)
- Track your stuff: View the status of current and previous orders from the order status section in the More tab.
- Additional international support (Canada, China).
- Requires iOS 4.2 or higher
