Yesterday we heard that Apple would be updating their Apple Store app for the iPhone and iPad and adding in support for the Apple Watch.
Apple has now released a new version of the Apple Store App, and you will now be able to use some of the functions of the main app on your smartwatch.
Enhanced Features for Apple Watch Users
The new update brings a range of features that make the Apple Store app even more convenient for Apple Watch users. With this update, you can get real-time order status updates directly on your wrist. This means you no longer need to pull out your iPhone or iPad to check the status of your orders. Whether you’re waiting for a new gadget or a replacement part, the information is now just a glance away.
Additionally, the app allows you to quickly get your pick-up order started. This feature is particularly useful if you’re in a hurry and need to grab your order from an Apple Store. Simply check in using your Apple Watch, and your order will be prepared for you by the time you arrive.
Genius Bar and In-Store Events
Another significant feature is the ability to check in for Genius Bar reservations. If you’ve ever had to wait in line at the Genius Bar, you’ll appreciate the convenience of being able to check in using your Apple Watch. This feature ensures that you can get the help you need without any unnecessary delays.
Moreover, the app helps you discover nearby in-store events and workshops. Apple Stores frequently host events and workshops that cover a wide range of topics, from photography to coding.
