I think they're going to keep it really simple:

iMac 24" - 2021 model
iMac Pro 30/32" - M1 Pro/Max with a whole host of IO

I think consumer models from now on will be USB-C/Thunderbolt, and Pro models will have separate IO in addition to it.

I would like the top bar to be totally black, and I'll have the menu and notifications on that bar there all the time. If the menu encroaches on the notch, it will be a problem... maybe an arrow at the end with drop down box or something.

There's a neat app called TopNotch (www.topnotch.app) - I've been using it and love it, even on my non-notched MacBook Pro. It's really quite slick.

Doyyyyy…. But not exactly hard to predict that the annually refreshed iPad pros are getting an annual refresh

Not quite annually refreshed - the last one was April 2021. The first and second models had two years between them, the next was a year and a bit, the next was 18 months - iPad Pro doesn't have a predictable cyclical refresh the way that iPhone or Apple Watch do.

Buying the stock has yielded more than that!

“Apple’s deep pockets”? Ooooo, that sounds anti-competitive doesn’t it? Apple has enough money to outbid competitors. Is that fair? /s

Get a grip on yourself and stop introducing your grievances into unrelated conversations please.

The /s means they were being sarcastic.
