Of course if you want a new iPod or Macbook, buy one or three. I am definitely an Apple advocate (if there was any doubt) so this is definitely not an entry to say don’t buy these products. But it is an entry to say, know when to buy one! History has shown that iPods and Mac laptops get "refreshed" at certain times of year. September is normally when iPods get more memory or a new design. iMacs have been refreshed in September too. I think I bought my last two in this month, different years of course. January is also a time when laptops get a faster chip or more impressive specs.
The rumour mill is abuzz that Apple Macbook and iPods are going to be scarce over the coming month(s). Normally this means one thing…new models are on the horizon. Plus, numerous sites are now bringing up rumours about new design changes, take a look at a new rumoured iPod Nano.
So if you are not in a rush to get a new laptop or iPod, wait a bit. See what happens in September as you could be buying something that could be replaced with of course, something newer, better, faster from Apple. And even sometimes a product that is cheaper.
And what fun is buying an Apple product if it isn’t the newest product out there?
