I did not mean it to be a "stab" per se, people are entitled to their own opinions, but I was genuinely concerned with OP's prospect of getting un-biased answer here. Too many people are too emotionally involved when it comes to Apple. And from what I've read so far on this issue from many other sources, many Apple critics use the price drop as a way to validate their opinions, which I think is a bit too soon at the moment (the critics may or may not be right, but right now it's definitely too soon to tell) and the drop can be explained by perfectly reasonable market mechanism in the short term.
