Apple to refresh look of the App Store, iBook Store and iTunes for iOS 6, says report

A new look for the Apple App Store, iBook Store and iTunes is expected for iOS 6

According to 9to5 Mac, Apple will be updating the look of the Apple App Store, iBook Store and iTunes for iOS 6. The changes will deal with how customers interact with the sites. The main focus of the changes will be on "social sharing," and the iTunes Store is currently being tested with some type of Facebook integration that might end up on all three storefronts.

Apple's acquisition of the app discovery service Chomp is not expected to play any role in the updating of the online stores as no changes are in store (pun intended) in relation to the accessibility of the trio. While improvements are expected in terms of app discovery for the future, Chomp related changes won't be ready in time for the launch of iOS 6.

Speaking of iOS 6, the latest update of Apple's mobile OS is expected to be introduced during the upcoming WWDC 2012 which starts June 11th. If you're planning on getting tickets, you might have to pay an exorbitantly high price from a scalper or third party reseller as the event has been sold out for weeks.
