Well I think to some degree he has a point. I think for new first time products, it might be wise to wait to see what kinks and quirks there are since it's new. However, for revisions, I don't think that's the case. That said, this is the 4th iPhone, not the first one so I would hope by now that Apple has the experience and wouldn't mess this up. This is more of a revision than a first time brand new product to me. If you want to go by revision, say like on a console system, how would you know when to buy since not every revision is apparent? The PS2 had like 15 revisions to the electronics inside.
