We all know tech moves fast but they certainly hosed the buyers of the retina iPad who lined up only 6 months ago. Too bad, you lose. Your's isn't the 'faster, neater, better one' anymore . . .
On pricing, I am sure that they had hours & hours of strategic meetings to set the price. Apple buyers will pay a premium, but at $329, it is certainly at the top of its pricing class & moving out of the impulse sale arena. $299 would have been much better - the extra $30 ain't much but physiologically it is significant. We shall see how the masses react.
