So is this a minimal upgrade before the M6 Macbook Pros w/ OLED & a redesign later this year? It doesn't even look like they added cellular as an option with their own C1X chip (getting around the licensing / cost issues since it's their own chip now).

I wouldn't assume those are coming this year.

  Everybody says they are, with the main point being they can get the M6 Pros onto TSMC's 2nm node and save 3nm capacity for iPhones.

  Maybe they just drop the M6 following with Pro & Max next year.

Yea, I think it is worth waiting for M6 just for OLED alone.

  OLED sounds great, but I am worried about burn in. MacBook screens are a bit more static and on longer than iPads and iPhones.

  I use a massive OLED monitor as my workhorse and I’d say money and expectations are better spent on established OLED manufacturers and a large screen vs. a laptop screen. Based on the common job roles HN users have, a large OLED main monitor will probably offer more value than the laptop screen that will probably spend most of its time as a side monitor or just turned off while connected to large monitors. The HDMI 2.1 and other display output gains bring more benefits with pixel output and framerate increases. Just my two cents.
