One of Jan Wegener's Canon sources who has been reliable in the past has just told him that there will be no R5ii this year, nor an R1.

Check out the first minute of his new video:

What do you think, is this reliable?

Well, like most people I am in no position to say whether it is reliable, but it is certainly plausible. Canon seems to like to make big splashes in Olympic years, so that would mean 2024. What Canon should be working on flat out right now is the design and production of lenses I don’t know I want yet.

Yes that all makes sense.  I could see the R6 getting updated more quickly since it was using a presumably older sensor tech (than the R5) and had that multi-line readout that can cause weird artifacts.  To me (based on using the R5 & R6) the R6 was much more in need of an update than the R5.
