I was quite surprised by this discrepancy as well (my new iPhone has 7, but the new MBP does not).

I had just assumed that for sure this would be the year I upgrade my M1 Max MBP to an M4 Max. I will not be doing so knowing that it lacks WiFi 7; as one of the child comments notes, I count on getting a solid 3 years out of my machine, so future-proofing carries some value (and I already have WiFi7 access points), and I download terabytes of data in some weeks for the work I do, and not having to Ethernet in at a fixed desk to do so efficiently will be a big enough win that I will wait another year before shelling out $6k “off-cycle”.

Big bummer for me. I was looking forward to performance gains next Friday.

they hold their value well so you could buy it this year and sell it next year when you buy the new one. you'd probably only lose ~$500

Good point! I hadn’t looked at how resale value holds up. Maybe I will do that after all… thanks for the suggestion!
