Apple ID: iOS 6 Beta 3 Rids Free App Download Of Password.


Submitted by Kevmau5; July 24, 2012

We all hate it when we go to download a free app from the app store, watch it start to 'load' and then get asked for our 'Apple ID'. It makes MY blood boil...but anyway.  iOS 6 Beta 3 has a little treat in store just for you (and to save my veins from popping).

Many developers have noted that the need for an Apple ID when downloading FREE apps....is no more. I, for one, never liked this anyway, but many more who DIDN'T have an Apple ID would wonder why they need an Apple ID for free stuff to begin with? As I said above about waiting for it to load and entering your Apple ID was just that little bit too time consuming for my liking.

This follows a change in the App store from iOS 6 beta 1 (that I didn't know about) where the need for an Apple ID when RE-Downloading apps is banished from the land as well. So that's an even bigger time saver for those doing a fresh restore with the same Apple ID.

How many of you got frustrated when this happened? I know I'm not the only impatient bastard around here.
