With the newer R5 delayed, and the newer flashes coming out that have a newer hotshoe design (ie EL-5), does anyone think there will be "upgrade" program for the first generation R5 or are we forced to upgrade to say the R5c or even R5 Mark II when it comes out?

What does the fancy new hot shoe offer, besides compatibility with one flash model (which isn’t even available yet?).

The only feature that seems new is “Controllable from smartphone app,” but I’ve used enough Canon software to have little faith in it.
