Their motivation is easy: efficiency

They are not attached to a HW, they'll sell you apple and its services, what ever helps them, they'll adopt it

PPC, Intel, ARM, RISC, it doesn't matter

And if they want a smart watch that last more than a mere day, they'll need to get rid of ARM asap anyways

Unless you have some concrete evidence, I dont think you know what you are talking about.

[Kukumber]

Yes you are right, i don't know what i am talking about, i'm clueless, that's why apple watch doesn't last more than a mere day, it's because of me

[ksec]

The Apple Watch dont last more than a day has nothing to do with ARM the ISA.

I expect a lot more on HN if you want to suggest something controversial.

Now is your opportunity to change that and educate me

What do you think is their motive? is it because interesting features such as the always-on module? doesn't that improve power efficiency of the device?

Do you think they are scared about the future of ARM? its stagnation, in case of a potential purchase by Microsoft or worse, Qualcomm (king of inefficiency)?

Or because it offers flexibility and modularity that can't be found on ARM?
