Apple Store app on iOS updated with support for Apple Watch

As we reported would happen earlier this week, Apple this evening has updated its Apple Store app with support for Watch. From the app, users can get real-time order status updates, initiate the process of picking up an order, make and search for Genius Bar appointments, and discover events and workshops taking place in nearby Apple Stores.

The update is available on the App Store now. We reported earlier this week on the update and noted that since the Apple Watch does not have a keyboard, more detailed processes will have to be completed on the user’s accompanying iPhone.

Apple’s full description regarding Apple Watch support for its retail app can be read below and screenshots of the app can be seen above.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if our watches would just get here now for us to use this.

    Still waiting for Facebook, can’t believe the audacity of the Company when they say they are ‘evaluating’ whether or not to release an app for Apple Watch. Maybe Apple should ‘evaluate’ their association with Facebook on all other OS X and iOS devices!
