Apple’s App Store, a world of excitement, filled with racing, jumping, tapping, and more . Until today, in-app purchases were limited to only paid apps. Now, Apple has decided to allow In-app purchases on any free apps, eliminating the Lite iPhone apps from the store. Developers have designed these apps to try and get the user to buy things, allowing a download straight through the app.
Lite apps are being pulled and replaced with upgrades so the devs can sell you content, subscriptions, and other services through the free apps, instead of having the user download multiple apps for one purpose. This could slow down the rate of app downloads for Apple, but will improve the overall usability of the app store, making the apps more available through subsections in the store and power search.
