Um..no. He seems a bit old for that silliness? (Maybe it's the beard?)

I'll be 49 soon, I don't do selfies. I'll lug around my camera equipment all over. I'll take plenty of shots and I will stay away from being in front of a camera at all costs! 😆

Brand awareness and many normal people will be happy with the features of the current model or are at a stage where they want a new device. You can always use the chance to upsell to the forthcoming model as well. Personally, I'd always wait a few months after a model is released before ordering it anyway (gets the early production problems sorted out, supply/choice is better, in-depth user reviews are available, you can see what problems are cropping up in real-world use, is it better than its predecessor and what value does that give to you, some people start selling at a discount,...).
This year I bit the bullet and grabbed a 12 on launch day. Was not disappointed with it aside from going smaller. I was always a Plus/Max guy. I ended up switching to AT&T in March because T-Mobile botched Sprint's network hard in the Chicago area. I turned my phone in to get 700 off the Pro Max. Believe me. I was going to hold out until Fall, but, constant call drops, slow data did me in. Screw T-Mobile and their TNX BS. Sorry, I had to rant.
