You should wait for the "Mac Mini Pro" which will have M1 Pro and Max options

Sounds like you're looking more for the upcoming M2 refresh of the Mac Pro.

There is probably an updated mac mini with m1 pro and m1 max soon alongside the mac pro.

Wait for the newer Mac Pro if you want that.

The OP is likely referring to the newly-announced Air with the same M1 chip.

I'm expecting 16" MBP and iMac to support more along with an M1X chip or something along those lines.

Hoping that M4 Ultra Mac Pros will bump this again.

I bet they're working on the M4 chip too

It looks like they aren't since they said it will use an M2 chip

At this point I would wait for the new Apple M1s slated to come out in a few months. Apparently the current M1s have impressed many all around and probably worth the wait to at least see final specs and not have buyers remorse
