It's no longer amazing how little Apple trolls know about Apple products.
Every single statement Your Name made below was dead wrong.

His entire post shows he knows absolutely nothing about Apple products.

You Apple religious zealots don't understand what it means to not have an
Apple ID because you can not update the native apps without that login.

About a week ago WhatsApp told me I had to update or the app would die.
I let it die. And it did die. Just yesterday.

I'll re-install it when I need it again.

Clearly it died for *everyone* (on Android at least) since I'm not special.
So the fact is, Apps *do* die if you can't update them.

Wrong. All you Apple trolls are so busy defending Apple to the death no
matter what, you lost sight of the fact we're talking about iOS devices
where you don't have an Apple Account on those iOS devices.

You forget you cannot "update that app" if you don't have that account!
So the app dies. Like I said it did. It    dies whether you like it or not.

> None of this is Apple-specific nor is it anything new.

Only Apple does this. Nobody else. Just Apple.

It's no longer shocking you Apple trolls know nothing about Apple.
It is only Apple. Just Apple. Nobody else. Just Apple requires the ID.

No other operating system requires the mothership ID to install apps.
Just Apple.

It's no longer amazing how little Apple trolls know about Apple products.

None of you Apple trolls knows anything about Apple products. 

If you don't have an Apple ID, then you can update the OS but not the apps.
It's no longer shocking none of you Apple trolls knows that aboutApple.

Only Apple does this.
Nobody else.

Just Apple.
