I think it's simply that Apple increased the bandwidth. Their HDMI port works by converting the signal (from DisplayPort, I think); Apple's M chips have no native HDMI signal.

As for "latest HDMI", wellllll. HDMI did a USB and really muddied the waters on what that means. You can make an HDMI 2.0 port, with no modifications, and call it 2.1. Everything is opt-in. So Apple sidesteps that altogether and just uses more specific terms like "supports up to 8K".
