This afternoon I turned on my iPad to see a surprising alert from the iOS App Store. The alert prompted me with a message stating that “5 app updates are available,” with options to either ignore or update all. In the screenshot, it is confirmed I have 5 updates available in the App Store.
This is the first time I have seen such an update and after a quick browse around the net, cannot confirm this has happened to other users recently or in the past…
Granted, I write for Lazyroar and my mini is, naturally, jailbroken. However, I have no packages installed on my device that cause this type of notification. I have checked with some trusted blogging friends; they too have confirmed never seeing such a message.
Maybe this is a great new silent update for the iOS App Store. I personally really like this alert message and would often simply choose to update all of my apps from the alert message.
My iPad mini is running iOS 6.1 build 10B141.
