Question is a little vague-is it on schedule for next year? Who knows... Is it worth investing in the current (2013) model, personally I would think not. It has last gen I/O and although the price is more palpable, knowing the new model is around the corner, urges me to wait for it. They more or less came out and said it was flawed, not quite as well executed as they anticipated, and knowing it is more or less at the end of the line, is reason enough to wait, at least for me.
