Technology gets cheaper. The time to buy is when you think what you are buying is worth what you are paying for it. The only measure by which an item you already own loses value in response to such events is expected resale.
I agree with the principle of what you say. However, I also think it should be subject to a matter of degree. A �100 drop in price after something like five or six weeks, maybe less, I think is a nasty slap in the face for the early investors. Had it fallen as much as improvements were wrought and over a longer period of time I might have persuaded my daughter to be a bit more philosophical about it.
I am keen to find where I read that someone had actually obtained some financial recompense before I take it up with Apple.
