1) WiFi 6E (I think this is the first Apple product with this latest standard).
2) BT 5.3
3) HDMI 2.1 and support for 8K monitors @ 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz (M1 is HDMI 2.0 and can "only" support 6K and can't support 4K at 240Hz).
This makes the M2 model a lot more "future proof" than the M1 model (which I own). Sure, if you can get a "steep" discount on an M1 it might be worth it but it would have to be mighty steep IMHO. The M2 just launched. Once it starts shipping at end of month it will start getting discounts for $100-200 off. So I think the M1 is going to become the red-headed stepchild because it won't have the features content creators (the main buyer of MBPs) want going forward.

You're technically right but a discounted M1 is a way way way better value -- but that's assuming we see discounted M1s

best future proofing is buying what is already perfectly good at a discount and actually buying the future, vastly upgraded tech when time comes.

Agreed. I future proofed with my 2014" mbpro that I'm still running today. That's 8+ years. The next one I get I'll keep similarly as long (even if it's an M1 Pro and not an m2). Unless there is a massive tech shift (unlikely). But most people buy under the guise of "future proof" but don't really keep them very long.
