iPad iPad price drops with release of iPhone 6

I've been looking for an iPad 4th generation with 128 GB for a while now. I thought I'd wait until the iPhone 6 comes out, perhaps the next iPad would be released at the same time and therefore lower the prices for the 4th generation even more.

The prices I was looking at were something around 420-500€, although I must say, those around 500€ have been staying online forever. Always 128 GB by the way, I only look at these.

Remember – I'm talking about the 4th gen. Now that the iPhone 6 came out, I've suddenly seen 128 GB iPads for under 400. But not 4th generation iPads, no, but iPad Airs!

Is this possible at all? It seems like people are selling their iPads to buy the new iPhone. I'm wondering if the prices will go down a lot when the new iPad comes out, I don't know when that will be, but I'd like to buy an iPad soon. I think after that, prices will become more stable again. It seems like those cheap iPads are on sale because of people who instantly want the new Apple product, and therefore sell the old one. Later people are not that crazy about it anymore, and prices may even raise a bit it seems.

I may be wrong, what do you think?

Yes, I used to buy all that stuff new, but now I'm buying things used. Anyone who pays the full price is just stupid in my opinion. The production cost of an iPhone is around 4 to 5 times less than the price it is sold at, and you know it. It is simply not worth it.
That's why now I always look for second hand products, in perfect condition of course and with warranty too, so you can always extend the Apple Care plan if you wish to. The value loss is just so big on these products, that you can easily get an almost brand new product for half the price. I've been watching iPad Airs and iPhone 5S's for a while now, some are half a year old, some or only a few weeks old, and they're being sold at around half of what they cost new. I know many people who buy their Apple products like that now.
