After years of owing all kinds of Apple gear I think it makes sense to assume any Version 1 product from them will be vastly eclipsed by Version 2. It seems to me they usually sandbag Version 1 such that a waaaay better Version 2 is easily achievable. Lesson here - be wary of a V1 from Apple because a year later a much better V2 is going to be available.

The reality is that Apple knows you will probably buy both.
