I suspect that the next machines to be released will be the 14" MBP (repalcing the current 13" 4 TB3 port MBP), the 16" MBP, and the iMac. They will all sport, essentially, two M1 chips, and support for much more RAM and at least four USB-4 ports. I suspect the new large iMac, if not both, will take its cues from the iMac Pro, which will vanish. Somewhere I there will be a secon Mac mini Pro, also supporting 4 ports and more RAM to replace the current Intel mini wtih 4xTB3 ports. No evidence, just a guess. I need to send out an invoice to cover my upcoming purchase of a new mini. :) -- Real magic is the hand around the bandsaw, the thrown spark in the powder keg, the dimension-warp linking you straight into the heart of a star, the flaming sword that burns all the way to the pommel. --Moving Pictures
