iTunes 12 Days of Christmas App – Not Compatible with Older Generations
This year, Apple has recieved many complaints from users of their iPhones, iPod Touch’s and iPads, all because the iTunes 12 Days of Christmas App was not available to older generations of devices.
As one person has commented on the app saying:
Greedy Apple
Can’t believe they have excluded owners of older Apple products and blantantly admitted this, suggesting we should buy the newer version. They should be greateful we brought it in the first place.
As always, the app has got lots of five star reviews, 2604 (as of writing) to be precise. The app has very few two, three and four star reviews, but it has a surprisingly large number of one star reviews, 1238 as of writing this article.
It’s very disappointing that Apple has done this, especially when users can still download the free apps, music and books online.
iTunes 12 Days of Christmas 2011
As usual, Apple did their annual 21 Days of Christmas on iTunes. To celebrate the end of the year, and the start of a new year, Apple gave away music, music videos, TV shows, books and apps all for free. iTunes users could login to iTunes and download the free giveaway items, or if they had an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad then they could download the iTunes 12 Days of Christmas Application to be notified when there is a new giveaway and download them. However, not all iDevice users could download the app since it was not available to older generations, which resulted in numerous complaints.
The table below shows everything that Apple gave away this year:
| Day One | Songs and video clips of Coldplay. |
| Day Two | Episodes of Top Gear and The Trip. |
| Day Three | Lady Gaga’s single, Marry The Night |
| Day Four | Jo Nesbo’s bestseller The Redbreast. |
| Day Five | Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing application. |
| Day Six | David Guetta’s song, Nothing But The Beat (Party Mix). |
| Day Seven | Nik Software’s Snapseed application. |
| Day Eight | One Direction EP. |
| Day Nine | Episodes of NBC’s shows 30 Rock and House. |
| Day Ten | EA’s Shift 2 Application. |
| Day Eleven | Lonely Planet’s guide to travel in 2012. |
| Day Twelve | Foo Fighters songs and videos: Arlandria, Everlong and Walk. |
Hopefully Apple decides to do this great giveaway next year as well!
