Normally Canon would not use the same sensor for new version beside 1DX mkii to 1DX mkiii.
If they really support Apple Version Pro, they should make a 8K sensor for APSC. R7 is 7K sensor only.
Their 2 new VR lens are only for R7 and R50V.
R7 mkii should use stack sensor.

That is a nice dream, but absolutely not feasible. Even if they build it, it would be ginormous.
Still, definitely the most exciting V camera to me.

No. The RX10m4 is (about) 24-600mm F/6.3-11 (FF equivalent).
The Rx10 uses a 1" sensor.
"It’s rumored that the PowerShot V3 will use the same sensor as the PowerShot V1. So it will be the “new” 1.4″ image sensor."
The area of an 1.4" sensor is double the size of an 1" sensor. So a camera with the specs that you wrote earlier would be enormous in size.

Canon's product cycle for the 7 series has been intermittent at best!
Applying logic/historical releases to future R7 iterations may induce mental headaches.

Personally I switched to Sony for two reasons:
- Stabilisation in post using gyro data
- external microphne which plugs in to to hot shoe and is small
Since I use my cam around 50:50 for pictures and videos (95% family stuff) I wanted the all in one cam. Since the A7iii generation Eye AF and battery life are good enough for me - image quality was already more than enough way earlier. But I always had trouble with decent 4K, stabilisation and acceptable sound quality in video. R8 had the AF, image quality and video quality I wanted - but the external mic is too big and the stabilisation in lens was not good enough.
The way that Sony stabilizes in post is IMHO nothing short of a miracle, you can see an example here:

Together with the 20-70mm there is also enough space to crop for stabilisation. Now if a potential Canon RV6 or whatever it will be called has these features and Canon offers a more compact external mic, I would be happy to jump back - the Canon colors are way nicer after all. And I dont need many lenses: one all-day zoom and one portrait lens is enough for me so the transition would not be so expensive.

The Canon Multi-Function Shoe begs for good accessories from Canon and better yet from 3rd party... Canon Speedlite RT protocol is broken due to interference (making the brilliant ST-10 transmitter just stressful), the digital mic can only be used with the hot shoe and is plain bad for the price and the higher end bulky XLR adapter from Tascam seems to be unreliable.Personally I switched to Sony for two reasons:

After several years now, Canon didn't capitalise on the potential in my opinion. A more compact external mic would be awesome!

Maybe to add to the point:
This is how my mic looks on my camera. It is small enough to keep it there at all times, no need to take it off even when putting it in a bag:
And this is Canon`s current solution:
Quite a bit taller! I cannot comment on sound quality, but this extra bulk would not work for me. The small Sony mic is also not the greatest, but offers enough improvement for home use (not picking up body handling noise, AF and IBIS noise etc.)

There's an element of functionality there, though. The Canon mic offers better directionality (especially for lower frequencies), and that's consistent with the Canon mic offering 120°, 90° and shotgun modes. Sony's similar mic with gun/zoom modes is significantly longer than their compact mic. But Sony gives you the choice, while Canon's offering is limited.
Overall, Canon is pretty much ignoring the potential of the connectivity for the new hotshoe. Why redesign something that works well if you're not going to leverage that? (Besides the obvious profit taking from converting people to new accessories.)
I have the older DM-100 that I use with Canon camcorders (it has the 'mini' hotshoe and won't mount on ILCs). It looks like Canon uses that basic barrel design for all their mics (to date).

An R6 V based off of the rumored R6III specs would be interesting. I personally prefer to have a viewfinder in my cameras, but I'll see what they come up with.
Even an R8 V would be a compelling option.

Incidentally, I think I'll pick up Canon's current solution to use with the PowerShot V1 when it arrives. One of my use cases for it will be for video when I want something smaller than the HF G60 camcorder, and a hotshoe-mounted mic delivers better sound quality than the built-in ones.

Unfortunately the in built microphones' fidelity rarely matches the great video quality the new cams produce.
I once had a nifty Lumix GX80/85 MFT cam. Great video, ibis and all - but absolute garbage audio and not even a mic in. It was quite frustrating.
