From that, it sounds like they will be charging for updates every two major versions, so not as often as the iPod touch.
- roc 17y agoI can't quite decide how to interpret that myself. (I admit I never considered they might be going to an every-other policy.) My theories were: Pessimistic -- They knew 4.0 was right around the corner and that charging people $20 or so for 4.0 would go over like a turd in the punchbowl. So they're covering 4.0 but it'll be back to business-as-usual with 5.0. Optimistic -- They're trying out not-charging for major releases but are reserving the right to change their minds again.
