I see your point, and I don't necessarily disagree with you, but if updating 1password 3 to a new dropbox API requires a bunch of dev time, why should it be given out as a free upgrade?

I guess they could have sold yet another version of 1password 3 with the update for a lower fee, but that's confusing. At one point, with the upgrade from v2 to v3, agilebits had something like 4 or 5 versions of 1password in the app store (iphone/ipad/iphone & ipad combined version/v3) and while it offered better value, it was also confusing and off-putting for new customers.

I can't remember - does the iOS app store allow devs to charge for version upgrades? Or do you just have to create an all-new sku?

The iOS app store doesn't allow charging for upgrades, they released as a new app.
