Apple made this change quietly so there's no official word on exactly why it has decided to make this cosmetic alteration in the App Store.</p> <!--break--> <p>The "freemium" business model for apps (http://www.imore.com/freemium-rising-mobile-game-developers-on-the-freemium-trend) has been a controversial subject for Apple in the past. In 2013, Apple settled a class action lawsuit (http://www.imore.com/apple-reportedly-notifying-customers-app-purchase-settlement-details) that had the company offering compensation for in-app purchases by minors without the permission of their parents. Early in 2014, Apple entered into another agreement with the US Federal Trade Commission (http://www.imore.com/ftc-ropes-apple-least-another-32-million-app-purchase-repayments) over the same issue.</p> <p>Apple still has a "Free" apps category in the App Store and it also still shows when a free app has in-app purchases.
