As expected, Apple has just released its revamped Apple Store iOS app, bringing along a new "Discover" tab that takes into account each user's previous purchases so it can curate content from the company's online storefront in order to recommend what to buy next. The update for the Apple Store app introduces a universal functionality for both iPhone and iPad devices as well, along with a redesigned interface.
The newly redesigned Apple Store app is a more personal way to shop for the latest Apple products and accessories. Get recommendations based on the Apple products you already own. Find out which accessories are compatible with your devices. Easily upgrade to a new iPhone from your current one. Keep track of your orders wherever you go. And reserve a spot in an upcoming workshop or event.

Word of the revamped app surfaced last week, with Apple seeking to leverage the success and user feedback from similar "For You" sections in its other services, like Apple Music and Apple News. Based on your previous activity, the Apple Store app will automatically go to work in putting forth purchase suggestions when users begin placing orders in the store.
- Get recommendations and shop for new products based on what works with the Apple devices you already own.

Just updated. It has a notification that my Apple Watch Sport return was completed (I never returned a watch), it's recommending an iPad Pro (which I already own), and a black silicon case (but I already have a better blue leather case).
Apple is infallible, you are just not getting it! The app decided you need an Apple Watch ASAP and ordered one for you, but then realised you need an iPad pro more and returned the watch. Apple monitored your iPad Pro battery status and they came to the conclusion you need two iPads to stay productive and a different colour and feel to differentiate them. Just fork over the money and stop questioning them.This does not seem useful at all.

Each part of the sentence should stand on its own, not wrap simply based on screen width. They used to do this much better.
Keep it classy Apple , you are better than this!!
