I'm not the only one who experiences this. It started with iOS 7. Before that the notifications were prompt. My App Store does know there's an update, because it is there. iTunes put it there. But the notification for it is way too late, if it shows at all. This started when they added "Auto App Update". The update is there, I go to the App Store, and they are there. A few seconds later the notification lights up. Whether intentional or a bug, I don't know. I just know it's mildly annoying.
Doesn't even use the new keyboard
The iMore forums, Google maps, Google search, Google drive, Amazon, eBay, Starbucks, PayPal, and a few others for me aren't updated.
Netflix got it today.
