- J3L2404 16y agoExcept that your point is factually wrong, which is why you tried to backtrack. You should have deleted your post while you had the chance.
- elvirs 16y agohow is it wrong? apple advertises the fact that they will let buyers 'even redownload' for free the app a customers bought earlier. what is so great about it to advertise? is not that normal? I dont like the fact that apple makes a normal thing sound like a favor it is doing to its customers. which part is wrong in it?
- J3L2404 16y agoThis part: >its amazing how apple expected customers to pay for the same digital product over and over. Or are you trying to pretend you didn't say that?
- elvirs 16y agoI did say that, Pay attention to 'expectED', it is in past tense, what it means is apple used to expect people to pay for redownloads or not allow redownloads at all but now with introduction of this great new feature they are going to let you redownload or 'even redownload'. pay attention to how they said 'EVEN redownload', they are making an accent on the importance of this redownload thingy. i hope you got it now.
- J3L2404 16y ago>apple used to expect people to pay for redownloads or not allow redownloads at all Obviously false. Although it is mildly amusing to watch your syntactical contortions, I'm out.
- elvirs 16y agoand why are downvoting like a kid everything i say, even questions :) its a conversation dude, chill.
- chc 16y agoJ3L2404 is not downvoting you — other people are, presumably because they do not think your conversation is adding to the discussion as a whole (or maybe they're just vindictive Apple fans). HN does not allow you to downvote responses to your own comments, so it couldn't be J3L2404.
- elvirs 16y agothanks for pointing that out. I am new here and dont know how the voting works. I cant see downvote icon because I have low carma i guess.

- chc 16y agoMost people are not familiar with app stores, and barely more familiar with downloading software in general (rather than going to Best Buy to get a box or just having their son install it). It is not "normal" for them. Whether they'll lose the app if their computer crashes is a real question people have (and in fact some online stores do make it a real PITA to redownload). Apple is answering those people. TL;DR: The world does not revolve around geeks.
