How large is the timeslice on this? Apple releases the iPhone in the summer like clockwork. Lots of people buy during the initial push and follow-on buyers peter out in the period just before the next release. I think Apple even acknowledged this in their last earnings call, but I could be wrong. Unless you absolutely needed an iPhone right now, you'd want to hold out from February - May. Apple's annual obsolescence for their consumer products isn't a secret to the mainstream, either. It's almost a running gag.
