In connection with Apple’s App Store celebrating its 5th year anniversary in the business, a number of paid and expensive apps are offered free for download on Monday. It has been five years since Apple’s online store started catering to iOS users. The unprecedented move to make a number of paid apps free signifies the company’s appreciation for the continued patronage and support of consumers. Downloading top rated free apps from the App store is now possible but for the full versions of some applications payment is still required.
Top games for free
“Infinity Blade II” is the sequel of “Infinity Blade.” Up to this point in time, the game is considered to have one of the most awesome graphics and game play for the iPhone and iPad.

App Wars
Every tech company has its own website where applications can be downloaded. There is Apple’s App Store, Google’s Google Play, Blackberry’s Blackberry World and Microsoft with its Windows Phone. In 2011, Apple and Amazon had a dispute when Amazon rolled out its own version of online application store called Amazon App Store. Apple filed a complaint and sued Amazon for infringement of its trademark by using the words “apps store.” Amazon contended that such words were only generic descriptions and therefore no infringement had occurred. Both Apple and Amazon failed to come to a settlement.
