Apple has been shipping Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E products for a while.


Here are those products with Wi-Fi 6E support:

Use Wi-Fi 6E networks with Apple devices - Apple Support


More iPhone models have Wi-Fi 6 support; from iPhone 11 and newer, IIRC.


Apple Wi-Fi setup recommendations:

Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support


What products Apple might ship in the future, or when, or if, we are not in a position to speculate.


I’ve used Wi-Fi 6 and WPA2/WPA3 transitional with Apple clients. It works. Wi-Fi 6E APs are still a little scarce, though.
