You're probably right. Maybe they have inventory to work through!

They might also have supply constraints on these new chips. I suspect they are going to sell a lot of these new MacBook Pros

They also have a limited headcount and resources so they wouldn't want to announce M1x/pro/max for all machines now and have employees be idle for the next 3 months.
Notebooks also have a higher profit margin, so they sell them to those who need to upgrade now. The lower-margin systems like Mini will come later. And the Mac Pro will either die or come with the next iteration of the chips.

The Mac Pro might be blocked, or still progressing, through design changes more so than chip changes.

Yeah, M1 Pro/Max on iMac 30” likely in 2022 H1. Mini also, I imagine.

Yup. Once I saw the 24" iMac I knew the 27" had had it's chips. 30" won't actually be much bigger than the 27" if the bezels shrink to almost nothing - which seems to be the trend.
