Rumour: Apple planning App Store redesign later this year

After almost three years of service, the current iTunes and App Store design is rumoured to be receiving an overhaul later this year.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple will make iTunes and its various sections a more "engaging experience" with the emphasis of the redesign on speed, efficiency, and simplicity.

If the rumour is true, the unveiling of a redesigned iTunes in the autumn is not beyond the realms of possibility, especially given Apple's tendency toward music-themed iPod / iTunes events around that period.

Given the recent shenanigans on the App Store free games chart, we'd expect Apple to be focused on improving how the most popular games are displayed, too, although that's likely just wishful thinking on our part.

What would you guys like to see improved? Let us know in the comments below (not you, spambots, you can stay out of this one).
