It’s good practice to never buy any Apple stuff in the month before MacWorld.
One of my co-workers just shelled out $2500 for a top of the line Macbook Pro. That guarantees that there will be a new high-end laptop.
If nothing else, everything gets upgraded - or another way to look at it, what used to be an add-on is standard.
Or, yet another way to look at it, you get a price break.
