Here's what is changing: Larger hdr oled screen
20-30% more battery life
Easier to take apart
Nicer case with the terabyte premium models
Wi-Fi 6e
Better thermals (bigger fan)
Slightly better touch responsiveness and haptics
Dedicated Bluetooth antenna for better connection to other devices
Some other minor updates to hardware (no significant performance changes)
90hz screen A bit lighter
Bluetooth 5.3
So I should probably wait to get one of these?
Yes. It is already awesome. It just get better.
Old one is still solid (and now discounted) but this offers some nice, mid-generation upgrades. If you already have one, or want one at a discount, stick with the old model, otherwise this is a nice upgrade for basically the same price.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the one that is now being sold for $400 used to be $550. All the LCD models have dropped in price (with the 64 GB and 512 GB models being discontinued) and the OLED filling in the now open higher price tiers.
