As this appears to be an edit request,  Not done - I couldn't find anything on this, no links have been provided and (if it does exist) it appears to lack any relevance to this article (beyond potentially being distributed on the Store itself). Remagoxer ^(talk) 12:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I propose merging App Store (tvOS) into App Store (iOS/iPadOS). The tvOS article simply doesn't seem notable on its own, as the tvOS App Store is rarely (if ever) discussed on its own in the press. Besides, fleshing out the tvOS article would just repeat a lot of the same stuff covered in this article (the 30% cut, app review, etc.) This article's own lead says: Apps can be downloaded on the iPhone, iPod Touch, or the iPad, and some can be transferred to the Apple Watch smartwatch or 4th-generation or newer Apple TVs as extensions of iPhone apps. (emphasis mine). DFlhb (talk) 18:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

• Merge. I think merging into Apple TV is a better idea, but i support merging. SMBMovieFan (talk) 23:49, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
• Merge into App Store (iOS/iPadOS). I think it's more suited this way as the lead easily merges into the History/Lead section and the development section is just a new subheading under development of the other article. I don't really see why this should be merged into Apple TV instead. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:36, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support Yes, it needs to merge. —Hajoon0102 💬 09:50, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Preliminary move discussion

This isn't a formal move request; I'm gauging consensus first. Others are free to change this section heading and rewrite my initial comment if they feel a proper, neutrally-worded move request is appropriate (but please ping me afterwards).

Wikipedia is case-sensitive. So App Store and App store are two separate pages.

App Store redirects here. Why? That makes no sense whatsoever to me. Please see the November 13, 2020 move request in this talk page's header for more. If people type App store or app store in the search bar, they'll go to the generic article. If they go out of their way to capitalize it properly like App Store, they'll be taken here. Seems reasonable.

So why not just move this page to App Store, and avoid the redirect? It would also allow us to change the hatnote from:

"App Store" redirects here. For the general concept, see App store.

To:

This article is about Apple's app distribution platform. For the general concept, see App store.

See Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization)#Page_names_that_differ_only_by_capitalization DFlhb (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Note that the current title is inaccurate, since this isn't just the iOS and iPadOS App Store, it's also the tvOS store, and the watchOS store (all covered here), and soon the xrOS store. So I don't know why we insist on parenthetical disambiguation when a hatnote here, and a hatnote at App store, would do the trick just fine. DFlhb (talk) 07:53, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

I think a move to App Store, as the primary topic of the capitalised title, would be appropriate. Any confusion for those looking for an app store could be resolved by hatnotes. If a parenthetical disambiguator is deemed necessary, I would think App Store (mobile) would work, as it contains mobile apps. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 03:52, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

App Store (iOS/iPadOS) → ? – The article "App Store (tvOS)" has been merged into this article and does not reflect its article name. Some say "(iOS/iPadOS)" should be removed. Parham wiki (talk) 16:10, 15 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Edward-Woodrow • talk 14:21, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

• Move to App Store (Apple) Rreagan007 (talk) 00:02, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
• Move to App Store with hatnote - as titles are case sensitive, most people who are explicitly typing "App Store" will be looking for this one, and the redirect already points to this article. Remagoxer (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
• First choice App Store (Apple) with App Store redirecting to the conceptdab at app store. Second choice is App Store as primary topic per diffcaps. In other words, both Rreagan and Remagoxer have good ideas from my perspective. Red Slash 22:10, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
• Move to App Store (Apple), which solves the tvOS/watchOS/soon visionOS problem. I've gone back on my argument that if people type "App Store" capitalized, they want the Apple article; it's true only for desktop users. Mobile readers type the name in the app then pick the article from a list of search suggestions. They may not notice a small difference in capitalization, and not having "(Apple)" would reduce recognizability. They'd be forced to rely on the short description, which they may not notice, and which is in smaller font with lower contrast. (I just changed the short description; it was so long that the distinctive part, "for iOS and iPadOS", would have been cut off on many phones smaller than phablets).

  Nice catch on the short description BTW Red Slash 20:27, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
