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.

We cannot allow the truth to impact our reality.....

Apple products are luxury items.

Perhaps we need to focus on basic survival for our entire population including food and shelter and medical care.

Many of them are luxury products, yes, but some are critical communication tools that people need to survive. No, I don't mean that you need to be able to purchase an iPhone 13 Pro in the middle of the pandemic, but if your existing iPhone 8 is not working for some reason, you need to be able to go somewhere to fix it. The cell phone is many peoples' only lifeline to contact emergency services, connect with loved ones during a pandemic which may keep them locked up at home, and in a laptop's case, it could well be their only income source.

$1,120 jeans just created for flip phone? Um.. no thanks. You can easily sew a pocket and it's all taken care of. 

I think the jeans are dumb, but that price includes the phone as well, so the jeans themselves are about $100. Still ridiculous, but not nearly $1100+ ridiculous.

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.
