I took the 'grandparents etc' to be a simple generalisation with no ill will.

As a generalisation, I think most people will agree that it's a valid statement. There are going to be exceptions but grandparents are less likely to be tech savvy (as a group), than later generations who have grown up with the technology

Who do you guys think came up with technology. The guys my age or the individuals with the all experience.

A lot of people have a 5s or 6 and can't upgrade to iOS13 - there are still a ton of these people walking around. The tech-savvy of them who can't afford a phone every two years will wait for next year's 5G phone. The less-tech-savvy (grandparents, etc) will be in the market as their 5y/o phones break, batteries wear out, etc. My guess is that Apple will make a an especially-big Christmas-season push for these less-tech-savvy folks: we'll see it in marketing toward older people, grandparents sending video-messages to kids, etc. Apple will bank these sales this year, knowing that next year's 5G iPhone sales for early adopters and tech-savvy folks will be huge.

And, in any event, even after the Sept2020 launch next year the iPhone 11 isn't going anywhere.

Being tech savvy is a mindset, it is not an age delimiter. I'm in my early 30's and I had tons of friends who are clueless about technology and literally just believe everything they hear or told. Which makes them even more clueless and embarrassing when they open their mouth.

Brilliant !
