I dare say you're right. Some other commenters are clearly saying or implying it was a deliberate ploy to force upgrades and/or that Apple never cares about it's users etc etc. Some comments *really* sound like they are from people who have never owned an Apple device and wouldn't because walled-garden-evil-type-stuff. They're happy with Google owning their data though ... and getting no updates after 2 years.
If you read this: http://www.ecis.eu/documents/Finalversion_Consumerchoicepaper.pdf
You will see (on page 9, "Microsoft’s Deceptive WISE Software Program") that MS promised cross platform development tools in the past to lure developers and once they had attracted developers they stopped the tools working cross platform.
So, should we fall for this trick again ?
