I'm read this wondering if the author had any remembrance or understanding of the original CHRP/PReP fiasco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM_alliance). That was a painful time for Apple. Given the nature of how ARM operates, and the fact that Apple has has a full ARM license (so could, at their leisure add special sauce in the instruction set if needed) that they would do a new ISA, they already did, x86-64 => ARM. The question for me is whether or not their desktop/laptop series moves that way or not. I've said for years a 12" MacBook Air running IOS would put a huge dent in the Chromebook market, and a 12" ARM based Air running IOS? Well that would be a pretty obvious move to me.
