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?

Although everyone's input is just speculation, this seems like a reasonable direction for Canon.   The 5D series had closer to a 4 year replacement cycle and with a declining market, soaring costs, supply chain issues and the ability to update bodies via firmware, I wouldn't expect Canon to accelerate replacements unless there was a major gap or perceived flaw with their current offering that would have substantial market impact.
