wanted macbook pro and iphone, but is it a good time to buy with updates in the horizon.

i.e. iphone 3gs, there might be a new operating system update or rumours has is that the new version to replace it will be in the summer. issue here is, i don't mind the 3gs but it's being locked on a 24 month contract which is the most likley choice of purchase.

also macbook pro 13" base model is surely due an update with the white macbook cheaper with say a bigger hard drive. also what's the likely hood of ilife10 or something. being the main computer and will own for 4-5 use, i want it as upto date as possible upon purchase.

but will prices of new iphone and MBP increase, so just bite the bullet and buy now?

It depends if it is more important to get it now, or to have something that has just come out.

MacRumors Buyers Guide is a good place to start looking.

I imagine that a new iPhone will be launched in the summer, but I'm keeping my 3G until then and not upgrading to the 3GS as it isn't a big change, but from a non iPhone to a 3GS would be a big change, so I'd be less wary about getting one. I also imagine Apple will do what they did last time and keep the current iPhone as a cheaper model and charge more for a new one.

For laptops, the Macbook Pros are pretty much spot on, the only change is likely to be to i3/i5 processors and maybe a price change, but can't see anything major.

It all depends on if you want your iPhone/laptop to use or to say "look at me I've got the latest thing"

thanks.

it is both to use, so will be happy for the 3gs as with pleanty of apps. but i also use phone for camera shots, so if the new one had a better camera it something i would consider.

the macbook pro won't even leave the house lol, so could consider the white one
