What will Apple's next operating system "Snow Leopard" retail for?
Current forecast: $129 (67% chance
1%)
1%)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is $129 with a probability of 67% (down 1% in last 1 day)
Apple's CEO Steve Jobs announced at WWDC 08 that Apple's next operating system will be called Snow Leopard. This question asks, What will Apple charge for a new single license copy of this operating system?
Historically, Apple charges $129 for a new retail copy of major new releases of its operating system. Also, this new OS is likely going to be released sometime in early 2009 but is most likely going to have its official release date announced, along with the retail price, at Macworld 2009 which occurs January 5th-9th, 2009.
Will Apple up the retail price slightly cause surely they won't charge $129 forever? Or will they maybe charge less because it is suspected of not being significantly different enough from the current OS?
This question suspends April 20th, 2009, so if NO retail price is confirmed by Apple by 4:20pm on April 20th, 2009, then the prediction "No retail price determined by April 20th, 2009..." WILL WIN.
