Can you download apps to the iPhones in the apple retail store?

Kind of a stupid question, but is it possible to download apps to the display devices in the apple store or is there some kind of restriction to it?

Yes, the Apple Store on your iPhone is here to install apps that you want to download on your home screen. You can get free apps and there are apps that are not free, so you need to have a bank account to buy them. If they are free, you would just have to tap the "Free" icon and then, it would start downloading. To make this work, you should have an Apple account as well. Without an Apple account, you wouldn't be able to download any apps. Your question isn't stupid at all. Some people would find that question helpful. Also, some apps are "Age Restricted." it is going to ask you if you're 18+ or older. If you are 18 or older, press "Ok" if you're not, press "Cancel." Pressing "Cancel" would cancel the download. If you really need the app, press "OK." Have a great day!

I'd think that would be allowed, though the password/Touch ID would likely prevent it anyway.
