The latest update to the Apple Store app aims to make shopping even faster, just in time for the holiday season. With the latest version that we already have available in the Apple Store, not only has the application been adapted (finally) to the rich notifications of iOS 10, but also We can already see our favorite products on the screen of our Apple Watch, and we can even buy them directly from the watch using Apple Pay.
The Apple Store application, free and universal, already has compatibility with iOS 10 rich notifications, this means that we can interact with them from the lock screen without having to unlock the iPhone. But perhaps the most important feature of this new update is the ability to see our favorite products.. We will not have access to the full catalog of the Apple store, only to those items that we have marked as favorites from the application for iPhone, iPad or from the web. It will also allow us to see the orders that we have placed, as well as the location of the closest stores and the workshops that take place in them.
But the surprise has come to be able to buy directly from the application of the Apple smart watch. If you mark a product as a favorite, you can buy it from the watch using Apple Pay. It is curious that the Apple account is not used, as it happens in the iPhone application or on the web, but the cards that we have added to Apple Pay are used to pay the order. You will not be able to buy (at least for the moment) expensive products, only "cheap" accessories such as covers. Can we buy AirPods this Christmas from our Apple Watch? At the moment it does not allow me to buy anything, it does not give me the option of using Apple Pay. We do not know if this function is only available in the United States or if we will have to wait for it to be extended to other countries.
