Apple To Battle iOS Piracy With App Rentals?

floppyBe it wariness of compatibility or quality, a lack of disposable income, or some unnoticeable form of protest, people will always find a justification to pirate things. Of course, many of these justifications tend to be secondary to the realization that Not Paying For Stuff > Paying For Stuff but hey, I'm in no position to pretend to be on any sort of moral pedestal here.Within the iOS piracy scene, the most commonly cited justification seems to be something along the lines of "There's too much crap on the App Store! How will I know if an app is any good before I shell out a whole dollar for it? I'm not pirating, I'm testing!"Well, Installous fans, it looks like you might soon have to find a new bit of logic to absolve your conscience. Based on a couple of strings tucked within the latest iTunes Beta, it looks like Apple might be crackin' away at a way for users to give iOS apps a spin before they pay full price, no-jailbreak-required.
