As the Apple Store in the US has had refurbs of both models for quite a while now, don't think it means anything.
. Bargain ! I hope it doesn't mean new models are around the corner. I also hope it means new models are around the corner.
It still won't stop the current one being a brilliant bit of kit. I got mine refurb, having used it for a few months I'd have been happy to pay full price if I had no choice.
