The entire world of computing (at least for portable objects) always announces something new, within months, that makes your current tech look inferior. It's just that Apple has a way of advertising so that you know it. Other manufacturers do the exact same thing, but they don't have broadcasted seminars or something introducing them. You basically find that out, the easiest, by going into forums while you state your specs and someone already tells you "you're in the dark ages." You expect that machine you bought 8 months ago to run Starcraft 2????!! What the heck? You should've gotten PC X-spec 3000.
On the other hand, you need to keep a watch on Macrumors usually to find out when you should get any of those Apple products, so that you'll see the longest possibility of not buying too close to a new release. Still. As I say. Never buy until it has the specs and/or performance that will satisfy you. Then throw away the envy, because you know something better will always come out, later. However, if it doesn't do what you want it to do, steer clear. Even if it means you avoid Apple stuff for a while.
Investment-wise. There's not a lot you can buy, better than Gold. Just about anything you can buy for a house or personal belongings depreciates more than that.
