Are we thinking the 16GB will be as high as the M1, M2, etc. (the non-Pro/Max versions) will go for the foreseeable future? Getting 32GB in an iMac would require a future version with at least an M1 Pro (even if the machine itself isn't called "iMac Pro"?

Or could one of the features of an otherwise non-pro M2 be a higher (32GB) RAM option?



RAM, in and of itself, isn't a "pro" feature, right? At some point, as has been the case all these years, 8GB RAM stock is going to be seen as "not enough, out of the box" and 16GB stock will be the new standard (just as 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB used to be). Even on non-pro Macs, won't there be something else to step up to? Maybe not with the M2, but the M3 or later (whenever it's decided that 8GB stock and 16GB max are no longer cutting it)?

At some point, in the coming 3-6 years, even a ~$999 Air (or whatever it's called then) would be able to go to 32GB?
