He’s an artist so the commission he’s making off a painting will more than pay for it. The lack of other types of ports was a concern for him, so hopefully, Apple does return some of the classic ports.
When they had live in person events, yes, they would just cram everything into one day since it cost a lot of money to setup the stage, etc. But for virtual events like we have mow, Apple can just time it whenever they want and space the products out to maximize the 4th quarter news cycle.
How can you say that when both the specs and the product naming are pure speculation at this point?
Too optimistic. Per MacRumors:
November might bring us the next Apple Silicon based 14"/16" MBP's and a more powerful Mac mini. But not something like large iMac that lots are waiting for.
I still hope, not expecting anything. I believe it when I see it.Too optimistic. Per MacRumors:

Most definitely don’t expect it next week. Just some iPhones, watches & maybe hints of what will come in later events. I wouldn’t be surprised if they release various Mac’s together later this year.
I have consulted an uncle who is living in a retirement village. Most of what I heard him say over the years was correct, so his reliability score would be among the most trusted Apple leakers. Barry believes that a revised MacBook Pro 16 will be released during one of the 4 annual quarters. It will be offered in 5 exciting colours including Vermilion, Aureolin, Celadon and Glaucous. It will also feature a floppy diskette drive, a monochrome 1 k camera and a 10% Apple Care voucher. Of course, nothing written in stone and only time will tell.
I still don’t see why there would be an M1X at all, unless they have supply constraints (maybe!) with the A15/M2 cores and want to maximize how many iPhones rather than Macs they can produce.
Other than supply constraints, surely this late in the game, with the A15/M2 core being announced today, they’ll go straight to M2X in October.

When Apple announced the touchbar Macbook Pros in 2016, the 13'' without the touchbar was available immediately. But it too 2/3 weeks before the touchbar models would ship.
Hopefully they're all available on day one. I am in dire need to upgrade from my mid-2015 15''!
