By that reasoning...
Apple should have given consumers a couple
month's heads up on the reduced pricing they
made available recently.

"Hang on everyone! We're going to be offering
better products for less money in 2 months.
BUT feel free to buy now anyway!"

Yup that should work out. All those good
hearted corporate types, they like to put
customers before their bottom line!
