Apple has launched a sale on the iOS App Store for a limited time, offering popular and normally quite expensive apps and games at half price or less. Here’s what’s available in the iPad & iPhone app sale.
Apple is giving you the chance to download some highly rated apps and games at reduced price. Apparently they are “hand-picked”, meaning you could get amazing titles at a bargain price.
The sale will last only for a brief period. We don’t know how long, exactly, but we would advise you to hurry if you’re interested.
Check our list below to access the games on sale and get a brief description.
