lowsound | Yup, thats why I never buy first generation electronics. Sooner, rather than later, a newer better version will be available.

The release date for a certain product happens and a month later they have the revised version release date announced for 4 months later. So then you're instantly put in the "I want to buy it but there's a better one already made and they just haven't released it and it has the features I crave" situation.
There are other companies bad for that, but apple is definitely a big one and definitely has a lot of clientele that do instantly "need" the next version.

lowsound | This.
Apple DOES release a lot of thing that people crave, though. Their releases are so cool, it's like "I can't wait". I've felt it myself. It's sad, but some of us crave technology, even if it's just because it's "cool".
Today I was ecstatic because of the new iOS release. Was it THAT big a deal? No, and I always knew it wasn't a huge deal, but I was excited nonetheless. It's something they do and how they do it that excites people.

Maybe some companies would do it more often like Apple if they started coming out with products with the originality that Apple does. For example, they're already coming out with a new version of the Droid soon.
