I did and was urged to get the current model and I am extremely glad I waited. I was looking at my pictures I uploaded from my 5c, 6s, and 12 mini and they were just as vibrant as a picture I took on my 16. (Yes, I realize anything after the 12 mini would have been fine, but the way I see it, getting the 16 would be better in the end in terms of support.)
 
I had a 13PM that developed cellular issues in January because I did a replacement through ac+ and then expired. So I had to get the 16PM, but honestly it felt like an S upgrade from the 13PM. Picture quality is similar and everything else nothing major. The 13 PM took excellent photos, even at night. However, it is nice to have USB-C tho but def could’ve waited another 2 years to upgrade.
 
No, it was better to wait for the pre-order week. (Personal reasons lead me to this decision as well as the overall behavior of my 12 mini) In fact, I was urged to get the predecessor or earlier. The way I saw it is that if something were to happen to one of those versions and Apple support stops, I may have to put someone in a bad situation because of the fact I can not drive. (Yes, I am a legal adult, but I think some of you are familiar with my situation as to why I can't drive.)

It's going to be fun to learn about new features.
