This is why you don't buy v1 of Apple products. Guaranteed that the next version will be at least $50 cheaper... which still makes it too expensive.

With the notable exception of the first iPhone not having a subsidy price for a month or two Apple products don't tend to drop in price much year to year.

They've had the $199/$299/$399 price structure for the newest iPhones for more than 6 years.

That might've been true a long time ago but we've seen price drops for iPods, iMacs, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, iPad 2 at its EOL, etc. over the years.

I'm calling a $50 price drop for version 2 after this thing doesn't quite hit sales numbers.

iPad? First gen was awesome, and they kept the price the same even to this day.

Price generally doesn't go down with Apple devices, but they'll gladly sell you an older gen device for a discount.
