But an iPhone user logically could have automatic updates (over whose timing she has no control) turned off to avoid roaming charges, have automatic music downloads turned on (since she has control over when and where she purchases music), and still get bitten by roaming charges when Apple decides to purchase something for her which gets automatically downloaded wherever she happens to be.
Excellent point; this is what I'm trying to get across.
STOP CONFLATING INSTALL WITH DOWNLOAD. My steam games download automatically, all the time. Why, because I elected them to.
I didn't. I didn't mention install other than as an applicability rule (as in, don't auto-download games compiled against Windows on to my OSX machine). I talk about steam because it's a scenario taken to the extreme, where games can be in the gigabytes. If steam pull this type of nonsense, people would also be up in arms. Don't know why you think I'm conflating the two.
Where again do updates fit in? They are part of that setting, no purchase required. So that one liner isn't the end all, be all. That's why there are terms and conditions. If you read that, its quite clear what is covered under automatic downloads.
They are a separate setting, as I already said. They're also hard coded to not DL if they're over a certain size, unless you're on Wifi.
You're conflating updates with new content.
ROFL, I'm guessing you have no idea what you are talking about, considering this is all past tense. Apple did it, and guess what, no one is getting sued over it. Just whiny, bitching Apple customers like yourself want to claim this is the end of the world and the sky is falling. The horror, the horror!!!
Apple sucks, get over it.
Whiny? Bitchy? I didn't get this music...so the only stake I have in this is:
a.) Watching you flagellate yourself in front of us
b.) It's abuse of a setting and makes me wonder what other settings work differently than the UI tells me.
I've dealt with legal and UI designers enough to know this type of stuff gets scrutinized so that it's as accurate, clear and concise as possible - at least at larger companies it is.
