A pity, of course, but is iTunes Store still a thing? What is it used for nowadays?
To buy Music, Movies and TV Shows. It is the only place I buy digital content. I don't do subscriptions.

Im not sure if its server side or iOS 26.4 beta related but ever since i installed 26.4 beta, app store pages takes ages to load. And its even worse today. I submitted a bug report to apple few hours ago.

This may not be related, but on iOS 26.4, I can't seem to load my apps, and when I search for them in the App Store, see the "Get" button instead of the "cloud" icon. The only way to use certain apps is reinstalling them..

Same issue here. The app store on iPad won't load my account profile so I can't update apps etc. Hoping they fix it soon. The rest of the app store is loading fine on iPad. iPhone loads the app store and icloud profile page for updates. Oddly just occurring on the iPad for me.
