Of course, if Gruber is right about the tick-tock thing, a benefit of buying in a "new design" year is that you'd have the opportunity to choose: If you preferred the new design, you could get it for $199, and if you preferred the old design — teardrop iPhone 5, anyone? — you'd still be able to buy a fairly current example of the old design for $99.

Of course, this is assuming Apple continues to use previous iPhone models as their lower-end models, which isn't a bulletproof assumption.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
