Yea...
They did something weird with Clear, too. If I remember correctly, they tried releasing Clear for iOS 7 as a whole new app, touting it as an "upgrade". The "upgrade" was basically just a slightly new UI (Helvetica Neue!), but tried charging their current customers for it as a whole new app while deprecating the existing app that was in the store.
To clarify: “Clear for iOS 7” was the first time Clear ran natively on the iPad, i.e. it was a Universal app whereas before Clear was iPhone-only. The naming caused a lot of confusion, as you rightly point out.

Although there's nice shiny wrapping paper around, I still think selling it like that feels like a low movie.
