>If this is cheaper for Apple will they actually lower product prices or just enhance their own margins.

If this would happen, most definitely the improvement on margins. Why would they lower prices?

We have an existence proof. The iPads are already a better value when you compare price/performance.

Even the low end $329 iPad can hold its own performance wise to low and midrange laptops. The high end iPad Pros are cheaper and faster than lowend and midrange laptops.

Are you suggesting that Apple laptops are too expensive for what they're worth?

How is moving Macs to Arm going to improve this?

In a capitalist society, something is worth what enough people are willing to pay for it.

Apple pays much more for a Intel chips than its own ARM chips.

Again, you can look at the price/performance of iPads compared to laptop Macs.
