Good news: We will keep the discount on iPeng 9 and iPeng ue open until
Sunday, October 15th.
Please read to the end if you are interested in the upgrade bundles.
As you might have noticed, the discount we are giving on our current
iPeng Apps on the occasion of the iOS 11 release has been extended and
is still running. It was supposed to end on October 1st, but we will now
leave it open until Sunday.
The update rates for Apples current operating system havent been as
fast as in the last few years, so a lot of people only started using the
new operating system later.
Also, there is an issue with upgrade bundles that confuses some people.
So we decided to extend the offer to get on board the iPeng community at
a discount.
WHATS UP WITH THE UPGRADE BUNDLES?
A lot of people have asked questions about the upgrade bundles on
certain store fronts.
There are two issues here:
- Under iOS 11, the App Store shows a wrong price. There seems to be
some issue on the App Store side making our bundles show the full
price for both Apps, even if you already have purchased one of the
Apps in the bundle. The way upgrade bundles work is that you have a
price for purchasing both Apps together, and whatever you already paid
for one of the Apps in the bundle will be deducted from the current
price. This is often a bit confusing, especially if there have been
exchange rate or tax changes. But now the App Store doesnt discount
the old payment when showing the price at all, even when you click to
purchase.
The App Store actually charges the bundle correctly, meaning that
after you confirm the purchase, it will inform you that the bundle is
actually cheaper; but you have to take the risk to confirm the
purchase (which is non-refundable!) first and hope you havent made a
mistake like choosing the wrong bundle or wrong App Store account. We
think this is not really acceptable, but since we have no other way to
give upgrade discounts on the App Store, and we cant fix it (after
all its Apples store), we think the general discount is a proper
alternative.
- On some store fronts, the upgrade bundles dont show at all. This is
because the bundles only show up if the current price of the bundle is
cheaper than the individual prices of the contained Apps. Due to the
discount on iPeng 9, the two now typically cost the same, but this
also depends on how the price translates into local currency on your
store front. Since we cant set the price freely but only using
Apples price tiers, we can Neither change nor influence this. Its
also a bit unfortunate because, depending on what you paid for iPeng
Classic, the upgrade bundle might actually still be cheaper, the
bundles will be back on all store fronts on Monday when the general
discount runs out.
