We will now get a better look at trending apps in the App Store with iOS 8, making the actual store more contextual. If something like the World Series is happening, and there are apps that are seeing more downloads than usual for it, you'll get the chance to find those quickly and easily from within the App Store.

Developers can also upload short videos about their app in addition to photos, much like we see on the Play Store. App bundling will also let us download a few apps at a time, so all those Twitter clients you want to check out? You can — just cobble them together, then download!

Developers are also getting a utility called Test Flight, where beta testing of apps can be housed. If a Developer wants to open their cool new app up for our eyes ahead of launch, they can. It's a great way for us to get cool stuff, and Developers to get more feedback that they would have before.
