Apple silicon serves Apple better on Mac’s then Intel did since their performance really produced more heat and were less efficient. In a ecosystem like Apple’s where thin is a important design cue. The future looked bleak for Intel providing what Apple wanted. It was about the same case Apple made with their switch from Power PC chips to Intel. But has Apple created a stagnant upgrade cycle with the the Apple silicon being so good that generational improvements won’t always bring in more upgrades or new sales. What’s the future for Apple silicon in terms of finding significant improvements to inspire upgrades. Does Apple even care anymore when Mac’s sales do not make up a whole lot of overall sales for Apple. Apple has less retooling then dealing with Intel and socket changes, and building Apple silicon on a SoC is also a cost savings. Now that the hype has died down, and generational cycles of Apple silicon mean less to current owners who don’t see a reason to upgrade. Personally, I think Apple is just fine with this, and may not even upgrade hardware as often with Mac’s. Case in point that iPad Pro got the M4 first before any Mac did.
