Apple launches rich new web interface for the App Store

On November 3, 2025, Apple launched a redesigned web App Store on apps.apple.com, which now loads a full browsable experience replicating the native App Store in browsers.
Facing long-running complaints from governments, the redesign signifies Apple’s continued push to portray the App Store as a more open ecosystem, 17 years after its debut.
The web store includes a left-hand toggle to switch between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, Apple Watch, and Apple TV listings, and app product pages now feature a media-rich interface with new iconography.
However, users cannot download apps from the web and existing Apple users cannot log in, so install actions prompt opening the native App Store or sharing a link.
Observers note Apple waited years to create a browser App Store by 2025 and question who will use it, though developers and researchers may find niche value.
