If I buy iOS now will it work with Unity 4?
I'm not so sure, but what I understand is that if I buy now, I will get the 3.x version of iOS basic, then the 4 version.
¿Is that right?
http://unity3d.com/unity/4/faq
For new customers: As of June 18, the sales to new customers of 3.x products will be discontinued in the Online Store and only Unity 4 products will be available for pre-order in the store. From June 18 until the official release of Unity 4.0 any new customers that pre-order Unity 4.0 automatically get a Unity 3.5 license for immediate use. That way, they are able to start creating their content and transfer it when their Unity 4.0 license is activated.

Yes it will work with Unity 4. Read what you quoted again: "For new customers: As of June 18, the sales to new customers of 3.x products will be discontinued in the Online Store and only Unity 4 products will be available for pre-order in the store."
If you're a new customer, Unity 3.x products are no longer available to buy, and haven't been available since June 18.
"From June 18 until the official release of Unity 4.0 any new customers that pre-order Unity 4.0 automatically get a Unity 3.5 license for immediate use. That way, they are able to start creating their content and transfer it when their Unity 4.0 license is activated."
A Unity 4 license covers Unity 3 (and Unity 2 for that matter, and presumably even Unity 1, although it wouldn't run on a modern Mac).
So I'm buying a Unity 4 license but will receive a Unity 3.x addon until Unity 4 comes out?

Well, after looking at the document more extensively it seems that NO. If buy iOS now, it won't work with Unity 4.
"Note that customers who purchase new 3.x add-ons, or upgrade their existing add-ons to 3.x after June 18 will not receive a free upgrade of those add-ons to 4.0."
Great... so now if I want' to start development for iOS I NEED to buy the iOS add on, which will be become obsolete in a few weeks.
You misread it. "Existing Unity Pro customers will still be able to purchase 3.x add-ons...Note that customers who purchase new 3.x add-ons, or upgrade their existing add-ons to 3.x after June 18 will not receive a free upgrade of those add-ons to 4.0."
It's talking about existing customers.
