I think most early buyers would prefer a $200 cash rebate rather than a $100 gift certificate to the Apple store. Especially since almost everything in there is above the $100 level.
I think the gesture's nice, but it's definitely not completely fair.

And I replied:

What's fair about buying something at a price that you think is worth it, then going back a month later and complaining you aren't happy anymore?

I got massively upmoded.

This also got upmoded:

And they'd prefer a $20,000 cash rebate and a Macbook Pro even more. Especially since Macbook Pros are nice.
What of it? They thought $599 for an iPhone was fair. They're getting at least $100 more than they expected.
