I&#x27;m read this wondering if the author had any remembrance or understanding of the original CHRP&#x2F;PReP fiasco (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;AIM_alliance" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;AIM_alliance</a>). 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 =&gt; ARM. The question for me is whether or not their desktop&#x2F;laptop series moves that way or not. I&#x27;ve said for years a 12&quot; MacBook Air running IOS would put a huge dent in the Chromebook market, and a 12&quot; ARM based Air running IOS? Well that would be a pretty obvious move to me.
