As long as there's mutable software binaries, DRM can be subverted. If core OS11 software lived on a special R/W chip instead of a disk, that'd be quite a move. Apple hasn't even done that with iPhone though.

No one has managed to get iOS running on non-Apple hardware, how will Apple-Silicon-only macos be any different?

I don't see it happening myself.

Not true. Corellium has. And if they've virtualized it on non-Apple hardware, others can, too.

Huh, I'd assumed they were doing some type of emulation thing (which is still impressive as heck), are they actually executing native instructions on a non-Apple CPU?

Actually, I'd love to read more about Corellium in general—have they made any technical details public, even high level? They seem to be very secretive about how it all works—which, to be fair, I can totally understand.

They have: https://corellium.com

Though there is an ongoing lawsuit as a result.
