I'd like to ask the same...
...
Are you sure about it and where do you know that from?

I'm sure it's not true. Expect the update price to be around $79, i.e., no discount for future versions. An exception would be if A4 is released with 2-4 weeks of purchase.
Strictly speaking A4 is well overdue, assuming that updates should be expected within 2 years of each version. Apple is secretive, perhaps too secretive so we don't know what the future is for this product since apple's focus is on consumer stuff, no the Pro market. If you have been waiting for a MacPro update after two years then you know the frustration - which wouldn't be too bad if the prices dropped as their costs go down ($2,500 for a base MP with only 3gb of ram, and $375 to upgrade that ram to 8gb which costs about $50 everywhere else).
Anyway, the lack of information, not so much when but to some degree, if, there is an upgrade is forcing some of use to move over or seriously consider Lightroom 4 for only $149 (of $99 if purchased with CS6 upgrade). Adobe will upgrade their products like clockwork.
I am a A3 user and tired of not knowing if apple will support or try to be competitive. As such I will likely move over to LR4 in the near future. I'm tired of not knowing if there will be a next update. Of course their is a learning curve but there is also comfort in knowing that the product tries to stay on the cutting edge and the company is dedicated to photographers at all levels.
