I'm curious what portion of Apple's customers actually anticipate new versions of products and hold off on purchasing until they're released.

I imagine it's common among the Hacker News segment, but what about the average person?

My buddy has held off on a retina macbook pro waiting for the new one.

And I know some others that do similar, not because they need to but to see what the new version offers.

Same here. I waited a few months to see what was going to be announced in regards to MBP, wasn't disappointed (though I wasn't really surprised either).

I imagine the waiting pool is larger than the "act now" pool. Especially since we now have resources like MacRumors buyer's guide.
