It's wiser to buy hardware no sooner than 6 months after release. Do you agree? Either for computers, or smartphones. That's not only because the first 6 months will be the most expensive they will ever be, but because the first iterations usually have bugs and flaws that are found only after mass usage. What's your experience? |
Hardware revisions for retail are a special topic though. Depending on the particular device or part, a later hardware revision might just mean that the manufacturer found cheaper parts for assembly. Most consumer devices are tested quite thoroughly because competition is high. So it is not easy to say, but usually waiting a bit leaves you with advantages.
With major OS and software upgrades though, I am all for waiting at least a few weeks till the first patch release comes out.
