I'm pretty sure it's the App Store, not the Apple Store. edit: there is an Apple Store, but it's exclusively for Apple hardware

No, I meant the Apple Store. The one that is nice online and in the mall. The design of the App Store and the iTunes Store are not so nice, and the multiplicity of stores is confusing. My proposal is to consolidate the online stores under the one brand that has good design and thus has earned good vibes with the consumer. (The Apple Store is not exclusively for Apple hardware. They sell third party stuff from phone cases to expensive DJI drones). https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/HLXS2/dji-mavic-air-drone?fnode=42 https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/HLXS2/dji-mavic-air-dr...

I meant the Apple Store app, where folks can buy Apple products and accessories for them. It is not pre-installed on phones, but it could be (which would be in line with Apple's hardware-first strategy). I did not mean the App Store. Users rarely use it, according to analysis, and adding non-app assets to it makes little sense here: "Today’s consumers are spending over 85 percent of their time on their smartphones using native applications, but the majority of their time – 84 percent – is spent using just five non-native apps they’ve installed from the App Store." [1] "In fact, it said that utilities on iPhone and tools on Android accounted for the heaviest monthly usage, and this was largely due to pre-installed apps like Safari on iOS and Google on Android."
