AppStore shows ipad air built in apps to buy, when they should be free.

Hi, AppStore shows ipad air built in apps to buy, when they should be free. I have registered my ipad serial on my account, done some resets and sign in outs, but nothing, apps appears with price. What you should recommend?

The freeness of those apps are tied to the apple ID that activated a new device. So sign into the App store with the apple ID you used to activate your new device. Then navigate to the apps you want and they should show up as free.


It's done this way because they are only free to those buying new devices, people that bought ones before Sept or haven't bought a new one lately still have to pay for them.
