The iTunes app ditches the black and silver headers for flat off-white overlays and blue highlighting; individual sections have more space throughout the app, and flat text, occasionally highlighted in blue, has replaced iOS 6's buttons. Both iTunes and the App Store apps also allow you to redeem gift cards by scanning the barcode on the back with your back camera.
In addition to getting the same design treatment as the iTunes app, the App Store sees the replacement of the Genius tab with the Near Me tab, the addition of a Wish List feature, a new Kids category, and automatic app updates. Near Me: Where Genius used your past app download history to recommend programs you might like, the Near Me tab goes a step further, combining your Genius data with a geolocation survey of iOS app buyers in your area.
