Apple Relaunches 'Texas Hold'Em' Game to Celebrate 10th Anniversary of App Store
In a surprise move tied to the App Store's 10th anniversary last year, Apple has revived its classic "Texas Hold'Em" game for iPhone.
As noted by 9to5Mac, version 2.0 of the game was released on the App Store today. Apple says it has completely redesigned, rebuilt, and re-rendered the game to use high-resolution graphics, as well as added new characters, more challenging gameplay, and many other new features.
Apple's release notes:
The new version requires a device running iOS 12 or later and is optimized for the latest iPhone and iPod touch models.
Texas Hold'Em first debuted on the iPod in September 2006 before launching on the iPhone when the App Store launched on July 11, 2008. The game was pulled from the App Store in November 2011, leaving Apple without its own iPhone game until it released "Warren Buffett's Paper Wizard" in May.
Texas Hold'Em is available now on the App Store.

But it's missing the 1,000 ads and tracking software you get from regular Poker Apps.

Should have waited for iOS 13 and the 50% smaller app sizing.

Why? Just play Zynga Poker et al.
Full of their ads and crappy tracking analytics? No thanks. I was recently looking for a poker game without all the extra bloat and now I have one!

Apple, back at it again re-releasing things no one asked for. But hey, I'm not mad. This will bring back some nostalgia.
I’ve actually seen plenty of people over the years request this, seems like a cult favorite.
