Chips are not something that you can finalise the design of and have in customers hands tomorrow, next week, or next month. Whatever pro-level AS device Apple ends up shipping, the design of it was finalised by the end of last year at the latest. What's far more likely is they either never planned to ship it ad WWDC, or (more likely) they're affected by the same market dynamics as everyone else in terms of the ongoing semiconductor shortages.
