Hehe yeah, same when I think about it… I guess best thing to do is buy on launch and update every 2-5 years.

If staying on the latest model isn’t important to you, there’s significant cost savings to be made from just buying the previous version.

It entirely depends how long you keep your devices. I try to keep my iPhones until release year + 6, so I would need the price of a previous version to be reduced by more than 1/6th on a new version release, which is usually not the case.

so wait for M5 to buy M4

That’s a good strategy with most things that aren’t prone to mfg variability . For cars having a launch version there are a lot of initial manufacturing defects that need to be worked out.
