The Apple Store app debuted 10 years ago, and laid an Easter egg to recognize this milestone.
Type in the right words and you can join the celebration with balloons.
Fun with the Apple Store app
The Apple Store app lets users shop for the company’s hardware products from their iPhone or iPad. It’s designed to be easier to use than going to Apple.com on a mobile device. (Don’t confuse it with the App Store, which is for software.)
The shopping app launched a decade ago. To join in the anniversary celebration, go to the Apple Store app’s search function, then type in “10 years” (without quotes).
A pair of bobbing balloons will appear, which you can play with. And eventually pop.
When you’re done, shop for an iPad Pro and notice that the wait time is still about a month.

Ed Hardy has been writing full-time about tech for 26 years, and using it for much longer than that. His intro to Apple was a Macintosh SE/30 (which he still has), but now he uses a 13-inch iPad Pro as his primary computer.
That’s because he’s a “tablet first” type of guy. Rather than use a Macbook, he connects a keyboard case to the iPad. And instead of a desktop Mac, he connects his tablet to a 27-inch display and full-size keyboard. (So don’t try to tell him that everyone has to use a Mac to be productive.)
Before coming to Cult of Mac, Ed wrote for NotebookReview, TabletPCReview and Brighthand, as well as other sites.
