I highly doubt this is for IoT advances, nor for internal debugging - because they have both already. The watch, AirPods, all the 40+ processors in an iPhone, the chips in each and every dongle, Apple is way past starting in IoT. AFAIK the vast majority of cores do not run XNU though, which would further make this seem weird. And for debugging, they just have actual iPhones that simply have the JTAG engine turned on.

I'm having trouble understanding what they could possibly want from any non-Apple SoC at all... unless their intention is really to make XNU on arm64 more open for developers and hackers. But I somehow doubt that.
