GarageBand for iOS 7 to Become Free with In-App Purchases as Apple Reveals Full Set of New iLife and iWork Icons

True but they've also never announced the release date this close to release before, last time it was about six weeks ahead.
Yep. And maybe it will be 29 or 19, and maybe it will be free. I'd put the odds of free at about fifty fifty.
The previous version or two were $29, ML is $19.

The older icons look better but the newer icons fit the "flat" look Apple is going for with iOS 7. The only thing that looks off to me is how close in color GarageBand and Pages are.
Apple announced that it's free. Toldja. Even a free upgrade for people still on 10.6.
Why on earth would you assume that behavior has been changed to be different than every other app in the iTunes Store?
Yikes! Sorry everyone...
New iWork and iLife Apps
So if I have bought these, I have no method of updating these other than fork out money for the new versions? Shameful!

Right, and if I DL it with my new device, can I DL it to my older ones on the same account?
Probably not....
And after that update yesterday, what do all the negative nancies have to say? Everything free, all apps updatable for free for prior purchased apps, and the only way you would have to åay is if you have an old device and never bought the software before, and that only in certain cases.
The dreaded IAP is only for new drummers and instruments never before seen in Garageband previously. All the rest is new stuff for free.
I am sure people will find something to complain about...

False.
All apps can be updated for free from the old versions if you have them.
why do people keep saying free, free, free....
it's only free for people who have recently purchased a mac (very few) and people who have bought the software before (in which case they have paid, so it's not really free)
There are millions of customers who still have to pay for the software, in fact the majority of people, still have to pay for the software.
Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that apple is releasing a bunch of free stuff, but people need to stop acting like it's free for even the majority of people, because it's not.

Well, it's a lot more complicated than just "false". iOS versions have a free update, but if you've bought GB you still have to pay again for the new content. On the OSX side it's a free upgrade if you bought from the app store but it looks like not if you bought it on disc or had it included with the purchase of the mac. I have iPhoto and iMovie installed now on my mac but no free upgrades.
iOS 7 icons are fine for most people (except whiners)
By the way, doesn't your signature need some correction? I assume you are using iOS 6 not wanting to upgrade to iOS 7!! It says no downgrade to iOS 7 until the drunk 2 year old designed icons are FIXED!
Which translates to never
The icons are fine for most people who will take any garbage without resisting (Except anyone who doesn't like to take it that way)
See? I can dish out the same as what you are accusing others with comments that are totally uncalled for.
In fact, I have both which is sad. If my 5s will work like iOS7 but can show the better iOS6 icons, I will not complain. Just like the 7.0.3 which changes the "reduced" motion to "no" motion! Really? It is another downgrade.
Look and feel, that is something very important. Degrading that experience is what I would say as a downgrade. And I am totally entitled to that opinion.
Same as the people who were accusing and calling names of those who dislike the "new" stuff in iOS 7. What makes them superior and have the right to do so?
Why is it that hard to understand that those who dishes out these abuses to us who dislike the "new" stuff are not warranted and they were not authorized to do so?
So it is okay for them to call us "whiners", "crazy", "blind"?
It is not software. It was more like a personal attack that was totally unwarranted and uncalled for.
Oh, why is there an accusation that I am angry?
I had previous versions of all iWork and iLife apps and have successfully upgraded them all for free through the Mac App store. Try again. It is as simple as that. Yes even if you bought a physical copy of the software in the first place. Just try it, it works.
At the time I posted Apple didn't have it working yet, MR had a story about that.
