Nice. I'm also in the older OS camp.
I'd probably take snapseed, pillars, sherlock and skip the rest.
I don't understand why Apple insists on iOS 7, there is probably nothing in that app which requires iOS 7 functionality. I get that Apple wants to push everyone to iOS 7, but can't they at least make some effort to maintain some backwards compatibility where possible? This shows how much Apple thinks of customers that either cannot or do not want to upgrade their devices (iPhone 4 user here).
Apple isn't really concerned with customers with "outdated" devices. Granted this technology can last so long and most people have no real reason to "upgrade" but it doesn't change the fact that they want everybody to get whats new now, no matter what they have, because Apple believes it will benefit everyone in every way.

OMG, this look awful
Apple is in a fight to the death with google, over cell phone marketshare and their key advantage is the App Store. The strength of the App Store comes from first to market + popularity with developers.
Watch any keynote since android came out. Tim makes a big point about how few OSs developers need to support. As long as apple can keep up the unification and google can't, iPhone will retain its advantage. So they reinforce OS uniformity, at every opportunity.
I'm running a credit too and got no such message when DLing this app. But I did get that message when DLing the first app after setting up my new ipad. It just means something has changed and apple needs to verify that you are still you.
So basically you guys wasted your time? Except maroon 5
You're kidding, right? Pillars of the Earth is an extraordinary gift.
Phew, thanks for that. Thought they'd cancelled Christmas this year to save money. Damn Coalition government.
The better answer would be: Christmas actually ends on the 25th. And this starts on the 26th.
My Christian side would prefer Christmas to be used (my reasonable/logical side doesn't care), but we don't want to offend any one with easy access to an attorney, at least not in the newly included US, especially with Apple already busy in the courts over here.
Not if it's Christmas for the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is 12 days after Roman Catholic Christmas. Or what testcard said.

I don't think someone can sue a company for making an app with the name "Christmas" in it.

Haha, nice, in the years before, the app looked quite 'Christmassy'. The new one looks rather satanistic in comparison
It's just gold. But a Christmas-themed app would be cooler.

From the impression I get, people in the UK aren't obsessed with political correctness. Or at least that's what I see on Top Gear (awesome show).

So much more useful and aesthetically pleasing than the One Direction/Straight No Chaser videos you know you are going to be lumbered with.
Oh sorry. Didn't mean to offend you.
[Too many "rolls eyes" gifs to pick from, so I'm just leaving this reply as is]
Shhhhhh.... A lot of people don't know that Jesus didn't declare that his birth should be commemorated...... Just his death.
But it for what it is, this holiday does make people be nice to each other at least.
Hmm, that common criticism of modern Christmas got me thinking. The material goods that we covet in our material world tend to be products of human ingenuity. I consider that more worthy of celebration than fairy tales.
