Shouldn't this be moved to Computers and Electronics vs Cell Phones? OP please verify.

There should be a certain lifespan to products. Given it came out around 4 months ago, you'd hope the product holds it's value for at least half a year. To buy a product and then turn around and have it drop in price is terrible. This is bad practice. You can do a price drop if your product doesn't sell well (to stimulate sales) -- the company then has no choice. To do this tactic otherwise is bad for resale value and perceived cost of a product. I have to favour Apple in pricing in this matter (except for the iPad 3). They keep their prices/products consistent for a year and the next refresh of the product stays at the same price. This perceived cost helps the customer make informed purchases. Paying less is better but the price should have been $209 to begin with then -- don't screw early adopters over like this (we're not talking a significant amount of time here).

+1 And that is why I was personally angry with iPad "4" release, though once I realized it only has a faster CPU, I calmed down. People don't seem to realize that a big reason why Apple is popular is because you are "nearly guaranteed" a one-year "safety" from buyer remorse. People would be much less likely to splurge on Apple if they were not sure a new model is on its way in just a few months. When the refresh period is short, personally I buy cheaper products that I can more easily replace, and more often (hence Apple would be off the list). A very expensive product that's refreshed every few months (e.g. an Android flagship phone) is a terrible purchase for a tech enthusiast.'while[1 wrote:;do;done;15641850']There should be a certain lifespan to products.

I thought I wouldn't use the rear camera much either when I bought the Nexus 7. "My phone's camera should do the trick." Now I miss it for scanning QR codes and augmented reality navigation apps (Route 66). Still not a deal breaker, just saying I notice its absence.Lone_Prodigy wrote: ↑Why do people like rear cameras so much?
