I wonder if there is something going on with iPad apps?
I have a BA Amex and yesterday (coincidentally?) I received an e-mail from Amex saying they are closing down their iPad app from 19th September 2019. This is allegedly ‘' due to recent upgrades out of our control the App will no longer be compatible, and we recommend that you switch over to the iPhone App’'.
I do recall hearing somewhere that in the future Apple will issue separate iOS upgrades for iPhones and iPads, rather than having the upgrades using the same iOS version for both devices.
I wonder if by making the iPad App as useless as possible, BA are forcing people to move over to the iPhone app and saving themselves the trouble (and cost) of having to keep pace with two differing Apple specs?
I understand from someone who works at Amex UK in Brighton that they have received a lot of complaints about the complete withdrawal of the iPad app. BA are probably trying to avoid this by keeping its iPad app, but just making its app as useless as possible!
