Really, the M1 is pretty much what the A14X would’ve been but branded differently probably partly so it doesn’t offend the Mac users to know the new Macs are getting an iPad chip. Indeed, because of the change in branding, they can now boast that the latest iPad Pro is getting a Mac chip.

Thanks for the correction.
WWDC is probably not where we’ll find out about what the forthcoming iPhones will have in them, and what Apple will be calling them. Whatever it is, it has to run faster than the A14 Bionic, and to the extent that ‘M1’ has come to mean ‘much faster than A14’, it might be that Apple will not call it ‘A15’, but rather ‘M something’.
On the ‘iPadOS isn’t Pro enough for Pros’ topic, I agree, some things about iPadOS is holding it back. Photoshop still hasn’t met expectations 2 years after the WWDC demo, Apple hasn’t shipped Final Cut for iPadOS, etc.
