The $100 could get one a shuffle. Or one could sell it for $90/95 cash to someone who was about to make a big purchase there. Hmm. The $100 could get one a shuffle.

Unless it is critical that you have a certain piece of equipment, purchasing electronics at the height of demand is a dumb idea. I just don’t understand why this was a surprise to people.

I think the $100 credit is a great move on Apple's part. Research shows that people normally spend an amount substantially higher than the gift card or level of credit they have with a store. I bet Apple actually profits from this move. And you're right, I would expect the phone to be down to around $299-349 by Christmas, if not lower. I also wouldn't be surprised to find out the next version will be released sooner rather than later.
