It's actually a very Apple strategy - discount the old iPhone, the fans realize a new one is in the pipeline but nothing's announced, and then the new one is finally released.
- abhorrence 10y agoBut the iPhone is predictably released each year, so I'm not sure this is really the same.
- azernik 10y agoBut differing times of year. So fans use the discounts as a leading indicator of releases on the month to 2 month scale.
- gruturo 10y agoThe iPhone is on an extremely predictable release cycle. Especially fans would absolutely know that one comes around the last week of September every year. This scheduling got changed only _once_ (moved from June to September), and this was not kept secret.
