I just spoke to Apple Accessibility, they finally called back. Apparently, it took them so long, as they were really really looking into it. Apparently, they said they indeed are having major major major issues, with the app store.
This can be confirmed if you look at the forums on http://discussions.apple.com For what it's worth, I just tried a second ago on my 6S, and the old interface is totally totally back and is working flawlessly. So, hold in there guys. I think they're aware that there new approach didn't work after all. Thank god they have image rollbacks. The guy I spoke with, actually ironically just happened to be an engineer himself as well as an accessibility senior advisor. He said he couldn't really go into much due to propriatary confidentiality sake, but, he said they are aware of it, and they are aware it didn't work at all. It's just a matter of them rolling things back. They're doing it apparently, he said in phases though, so if your devices still in the app store seem busted, give it about a day or so and it should be back to how we know it as.

Just tried it myself on my iPhone 6+. It’s a mess alright. I did a search for “grand clock†and try though I might, I could not make the results come up except by double tapping and holding on the search box. Then, it only showed me one result that it says is from the app store. Then, I double tapped on the “view†button just off to the right of it. Y’all, from the experience I had just now, it would appear that Apple has gone and done two things. 1. Force touch seems to be necessary to get at the results listings. I say this due to the fact that my iPhone 6+ does not have force touch and therefore it is impossible for me to interact with it. 2. Since the result from the app store bounced over to and opened iTunes, I am forced to come to the conclution that Aple has changed the UI so that the search in the app store no longer is independant of iTunes but is somehow intigrated with it. Most anoying seems to be that Apple did this without bothering to tell us they were doing it nor offered instructions on how we are supposed to find stuff now. Now, I must emphasize that this is how it looks to me at this moment. I could, of course, be wrong, but, based on this evening’s testing, looks to me like that’s what’s happened.

Point is, in Apple's defense, maybe they were just having some issues earlier when I tried. I'll look again, and see if it's improved. If not though, then, this could be a real serious problem! It was kind of acting like it does when their servers get overloaded. Earlier, when I tried downloading the Keynote app, what for a 92MB file should a taken about 2 minutes, if even that for me, took about 20. So, yeah... something's definitely up, but thats really the best guess I can come up with. --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016.

I am unable to reproduce your problem. I have two iPhones, an iPhone 5S, and an iPhone 6+. I double-tap on the search tab on the bottom of the display. I then double-tap on the search field. I then type in my query using the onscreen keyboard and the search button is in the lower right corner. Or, I use braille screen input and swipe right with two fingers to activate search. In both cases, on both iPhones, it just worked right before writing this message.

When I go, in iOS10 to the app store, then to the search tab, I only some of the time now see my search box at the top of the screen. If I do see it, I double tap. The keyboard comes up, but if I then flick back up to the text box, it doesn't say is editting. If I try using Siri to dictate, nothing gets inserted into the box. If I manually type my query in, it'll then type in the box, but the search button isn't showing at the bottom of the keyboard. in fact, as soon as I put my finger in the bottom right quadrant of the screen to tap search, the keyboard disappears entirely, and I land on the update tab instead. I know I quote, need to just move my finger up a little bit. Trust me, I am profoundly familiar with the app store, and how it works. I'm doing this 100% correctly, I assure you beyond a doubt. Plus, I have enough low vision to see what it's doing. I'm definitely doing it correctly. The one time I somehow managed to get the search to carry out, mind you I dono what the heck I did to do so, there were no results. The key word I searched for, just to see if I could make anything come up, not that I was gonna download it was, Pokimon Go. No results came up after doing the search. Further, when I clicked clear search after the search field, it wouldn't clear out what I typed. I've rebooted the phone. NO good. I disconnected and reconnected to my wifi. No good. I tried on cellular. No good. I even factory reset the phone. NO good, and no, after doing so, I didn't restore from a backup. I don't do that with major updates like this. I just start over clean. It wasn't doing this earlier this morning, and what's weirded on the mac is, when I open ITunes, I can't even get to the store anymore with command+Shift+H in the update that just came out. It bwonks at me, if I try. I literally have to vo+Right arrow to the store radio button, then VO+Space on it. Incredibly, incredibly! clunky! Is anyone else seeing this stuff?
