Before I could access my media server with the iPhone app. Then all of a sudden I was forced to register for a Plex Pass to be able do this. For me at least, that made the whole app unusable.

Yeah there's nothing about Plex or any apps that requires a Plex Pass. When an app for a new platform is in beta it is put behind the Pass, but that's it.

the mobile apps are free as remote or for $4-5 or so you can unlock the ability to play and sync media without a plex pass like before.

You can play on iDevices without a subscription, but you can't sync.

For iOS, they actually require Plex Pass for syncing, which is kinda a shame as I, the server owner have it, but why should my users have to subscribe?

[johnpowell]

They don't. I have a plex pass and the people that use my server that don't have it can sync fine.
