    In my region the local online / retail prices for 530 / 830 / 1030+ have leapt by 15% - 25% in the last week, Garmin has very tight control of pricing so perhaps they are getting us conditioned to "new" higher pricing for X40s and leaving a little room for "discounting" (down to the previous level) of the  soon to be "old" stuff.

    In my region, everything has almost doubled in price: Electricity, gasoline, some food, clothing... maybe the war in Ukraine has something to do with it...

    more than likely it will come out right before the Garmin Unbound June 4th2022

    Interesting.  In the states both the 530 and 830 were marked down $50US from their normal prices in April.

    I am holding out to see if the X40s do arrive and what is new/better compared to the X30s before replacing my 520 plus.

    If you were serious about cycling you wouldn't say that ;-)
    But indeed to go for a family walk on Sunday a Garmin Edge is useless.

    Last year I rode 7,500km distance, and 120,000m elevation.

    How much do I need to be serious?

    It's not a question of distance but of practice. If you do races, gravel, Gran Fondo, with rain, wind, mud, your smartphone is not at all suitable. I can't see myself with my $1100 iPhone 13 Pro on my handlebars during a race, it's just not serious and amateurish. Moreover with the GPS activated, the screen on with the cartography, what is the autonomy of your smartphone? With my Garmin I ride all day without needing to bring a Powerbank.

    Most of my distance was gravel. Strava shows 21 centuries and 329hr last year. Apologies if that isn't enough practice.

    I'm still using my iPhone 12. I didn't realize I needed to upgrade to an iPhone 13 to be a serious cyclist. 

    Last weekend it was on the bars of my downhill bike taking videos at a lift-assisted park. I'm fairly sure mud was involved.

    Strava shows several rides over 7 hours total time, and I've never run out of battery. If I took a powerbank, which I don't, it would be lighter and smaller than a Garmin.

    I'm struggling to understand how you decide for me that my smartphone is not suitable for me, despite me actually happily using it for those purposes.

    Be careful. I also drove about 8000km in a year, but on December 18, 2021 I broke the neck of the femur and now I have an artificial hip joint and I have not yet returned to proper condition. I met an old 40kg half-blind dog. So watch out.
