Q: Free Apps from Apple
I bought a 5s iPhone yesterday. When I was in the Apple Store setting up this iPhone I came across a screen showing all of the free apps that were not already on the phone--like iPhoto. I didn't do anything at the time. Now I can't find that screen. If I go to the App Store there is a $4.99 charge for iPhoto. How do I get these free apps?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.6

I called Apple Chat and solved got my free apps. Apparently if you did not download the apps when the screen first came up, you will never see that screen again. (As per your link ChrisJ4203.) But when trying to get them from the app store there was a charge. Chat had me close out of Safari at multi task, then at safari setting I cleared history, and cleared cookies and data. Then when I checked on the apps in apps store again they were sudddenly FREE. I don't get it, but it worked.
