Intel Macs used GPT for partitioning storage devices. What partitioning scheme are Apple Silicon computers using? Or are they still going to use GPT/
Partitioning Scheme
It is exceedingly unlikely they're going to change the volume format at this point.
There isn't any official word that things are different with other devices, but the truth is they don't need to be because the underlying partition scheme (like GPT) has taken a back seat to APFS containers and volumes. All disk/volume advances in recent years (10.13+) have been for APFS itself, like the readonly system volume (Volume Groups, firmlinks), etc.
