The beginning of this sentence is throwing me. Are you asking if I believe that, or are you stating that this is fact? Because the latter isn't true.

Your derived to the right conclusion. If you need some clearance on what I was stating:

 

You said that it is not apples fault if i cant download some piece of software on os 9. Which anybody can do if they so chose. Not to compare a last decade OS to iOS or mac os X, which version 9 has nothing in common (but looks) to do with either of the before mentioned

OS´s (no binary compatibility).

 

As i tried to tell you that i can on my mac chose which ever version i like of a specific software and download it and install. Not that many software dont work on older mac os´s you can usually download the older version that worked with that specific os version if the developer decided to not support those older versions.

 

As demonstrated the iOS app ecosystem behaves excactly the other way. You can not chose any other version but the latest. This is Apples decision! Whom else can I blame but Apple??? It is Apples appstore and it is policed by Apple is it not???

 

If you have several devices. Updating an app will delete the old app even it it would be the only working app for another device being synched in that same itunes instance.

I have never had this problem. None of my apps will update beyond what is capable for my respective devices to run. This happens both on the devices themselves AND on the computers to which they sync. 

 

I think you may be experiencing a bug. We should bang that out!


The only bug I've ever experienced in this regard is Apple's Cards shows up on my iPad as an update, but does not allow me to update to it. This bothers me more than it otherwise would for a couple of reasons.

 

1) I shouldn't be seeing updates I can't receive. This behavior is anti-Apple. It just goes against that for which Apple has stood for a very long time.

2) This is a bug that has stood since the release of iOS 6. They refuse to fix it, even though it's an App Store-end bug.

3) There is ZERO about the Cards update that requires iOS 6. They could very easily let my iPad use it, and yet they don't.

Its definately a feature. You didn't understand what happens! Picture one Mac that's used to sync to two iPhones. A 3G and an 4S. Te other is 4.2.1 and the other is 5.0. Both are using this same app that works. Now the one using ios 5.0/4S upgrades the app and syncs to the Mac. Now te other user syncs his 3G for some music. Fadam! The app disappeared or it says that it's not compatible with an iOS below 4.3. Even worse the other user with the newer iOS upgrades all his apps. Fadam! A bunch of apps disappear when the other syncs after the upgraded syncs!!!

Why does this happen? Because the older versions are deleted when an upgrader syncs!

Well depends on how apple will play its hand. My family will have two android devices (to my kids, instead of those ios 4.2.1 that apple bricked) by summer if i dont see those cheaper iphones or cheaper iphone4:s. After that I cant wouch for the rest. Trends can turn quite easily as you see... its easier to maintain one ecosystem of tech (apps and such).

Is it just me or doesnt anyone see the issue with iphone 4 prices atleast outside the US. Fu&€"ng MAD!!! We bought an iphone 4 16GB  2 years ago for about 280 euros. Now they sell an 8GB model for 325 Euros. What the f&%k is all that about, are they insane???

Is apple hardware the only tech in the world that gets pricier when two years has passed?!?!

Bring down that price compared to the newer phones or make a model with a cheaper BOM. That said maybe id buy a 3GS plasticback model instead if i could chose over the glass back model (well you know kids).
99% of the App Store still uses IOS 4.X.X or younger

I'm very well aware of the fact that most work on 4.3 iOS which is the first iOS you cant install on iPhone 3G/iPod touch 2gen.

Too much so... You don't need to rubb it in!1oyvey.gif

To know recently the App Store apps are starting to require it (well less than 1%) so it will soon.
