Why did WhatsApp make its service Lifetime for iPhone and Blackberry, but not Android?
Who knows, obviously there's a business decision behind it. The latest stats show iphone users use their devices 7 times more then any other phones, so I'm sure that plays a big part in business decisions.
That lifetime service extends to those who bought the app when it was $0.99 on those platforms. Back in the day WhatsApp cost $0.99 on BlackBerry & iOS but was free on Android. It ended up being better for the BB & iOS buyers because whereas the Android people have to pay $0.99/yr they got it with no annual charge.
So again, those who bought the app while it was $0.99 now get lifetime service, whereas those are now buying it after the fact get it for free but have to pay the $0.99 annually.
- Why is apple jumping straight to iphone 8 and not 7s and 7s plus? In the past we saw the 4s,5s,6s,3gs, etc. But why not 7s? Can you tell me why they might be skipping the s series? Or is the iphone 8 going to be called the iphone 7s?

- My iPhone says its up to date but its not? I have the iPhone 4s and every time I go into settings-general-software update, it says my software is up to date with iOS 6.1.3! All my friends have gotten iOS 7 already! Why doesn't mine say I need to update to iOS 7! And how can I make it say that? And I know that the iPhone 4s can get it.
