    Umm, I'd say that Apple devices are the most predictable in terms of refresh releases. Living beyond your mean = bad and all, it's still the same story for most electronics

    Yup, definitely predictable. Firstly in that there always is one, and secondly in that it'll change the minimal amount possible from what you already have.
