That only works if Apple doesn't withdraw the current version of the app from the store --- which they're entitled to do.
The EFF got a copy of last year's legalese and posted it[1][2]. Apple reserves the right to withdraw any app for any reason. (The key language is Section 8, which says that they can pull any app at any time for any reason. For good measure, section 4 says that if you don't accept new terms as they are offered by Apple, they can "suspend or terminate" your use of Apple services, including presumably the App Store itself. Section 12 reiterates. There's also language in there that says new terms won't apply retroactively, but their line here is, I think, that they're only getting more stringent about enforcement of existing terms --- and the other sections clearly state that nothing there limits their rights under section 8.)
Yes, but that scenario leads to customers going 'where's my app gone?', at which point a percentage of them put the App name into Google and guess what pops out...
Many of these are free apps (Pandora, Kindle, etc). No refund needed. And if they are the reason you bought your iOS device I'm sure Apple won't be accepting hardware returns past the regular 14 day limit.
