The 99-cent Message
I’ve bought apps for $5 and $10, and now many of those prices have either been cut in half or lowered to 99 cents. I felt like I got my money’s worth at the higher price, so I’m not complaining that I was ripped off. Instead, I just feel like a fool.…Apparently the way to buy iPhone software is just to wait a month for the price to drop.
Indeed. When apps I’ve bought go on sale, their icons get “Sale” badges in my iTunes Applications pane. I already feel somewhat like a fool for the apps that I wouldn’t have bought if there had been a trial available. Now there’s a way to reduce the satisfaction of having purchased an app that I do like.

Alex: Apple did no such thing. They gave *store credit* for *half* the difference. If you're going to troll, at least get your facts straight.
Or you could contact Apple and start complaining and moaning about how you got ripped off. Maybe they'll send you a rebate check for the difference, much like they did for all of the have-to-have-it-first people who bought they iPhone saw that the price was dropping.
