What Apple Products You Should Not Buy Today
Chicago (IL) - Common sense suggests that there is never the right time to buy technology, since it will be old tomorrow, and thereÂ’s always the right time to buy technology - if you buy it when you need it.

We know that the pricing of a product will remain the same throughout its lifespan (yes, there were some painful exceptions), while features and specs are upgraded every six, nine or twelve months, depending on the product category. This rough cycle enables you to somewhat plan Apple purchases.
So, based on what we know, which Apple products should you avoid today?

Not surprisingly, our recommendations match most MacRumors recommendations, which are also based on the lifespan of products. Here is some food for thought:
