Not sure why you are being downvoted. You are adding to the discussion with your optinion, and giving reasons for it.

I don't happen to agree. But I won't down vote for that.

I think the meme "all apple first gen products are bad" is old and tired. I was a reasonable mantra back in the mid-naughties, but these days it's not.

It's true that second gen products are usually improved. But there are not always second gen products.

Airpods were greate first gen. Second gen is a higher product tier.

Touch ID was good in first gen. First apple A-series processor was good, first T2-Mac was good. First Face-id was good.

So I would say no point in waiting for something you need now, but not because of 'first-gen' issues.
