Apple to charge iPad users for iOS 4.0 upgrade ?

[Lazrhog]

Could the rumours be true ? Surely Apple would allow at least one major free OS upgrade right ?

I wouldn't have thought this was true. Apple wouldn't like the bad PR associated with it.

I thought during the iPhone4 launch SJ said they figured out a way to give the updates for free.

 

[Lazrhog]

Phew, looks unlikely then.

No - it's been prove fake.

You should give away your first born child in order to update.

Yeah, it's called iAd's.

No way they charge. iAds requires iOS4. Why do you think the touches all got free upgrades this time around

This was already covered and debunked.

How about using the search feature next time?

Interesting. Even though I personally thought they would charge for iOS4 simply because the iPad doesn't have that phone contract aspect to it. I figured that they'd treat iPads kind of like iPod Touches. Still, this is pretty nice news that at least iOS4 will be a free upgrade.

Touches no longer get charged the upgrade. The iPad license agreement specifically states you get 4.0 free. Steve said at the launch of iOS 4 you get it free for iPad.

Move along people.
