I guess apple really wants you to get the iphone 5s with the fingerprint scanner. I was really enjoying not putting in my password each time I updated my free apps. Those tricky SOB's...
Got a tip for us?

The only issue with auto update is that many times an app has bugs with the update. I usually wait until about 500 people review it so I know if I want to risk ruining an app.
On a near related note, I really wish peoples reviews would show their device that they are reviewing the app on.

Damn! I didn't either for ios 6, but I noticed that many were relieved to not have to when they updated to ios 6. With 7, I have tried many times throughout the day and it always asks for the password.
I'm on an iPhone 5. Maybe thats the difference? Maybe theres a setting for it that I can't find.
Do you require a passcode at all?

Well I just answered my own question. I had my passcode set for every 4 hours. I just turned it to off and now it doesn't ask me for my password when I update apps.
I AM THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!
I have failed. I just tried to update a free app this morning and it asked me for my password again. I'm at a loss. There is nothing left for me except karakiri. I wish you well macrumorers.
