    Apple doesn't have a dependency on Intel anymore. It isn't due to ARM. It's due to AMD, but keep not understanding the massive differences between ARM and X86_64 instruction sets and architecture incompatibiliities, nevermind the inherent design limitations of ARM architecture and it's incapability to match anything an actual workstation or APU designed solution can produce.
    Well Apple moved from PowerPC to Intel in a heart-beat when it is in Apple's best interest - so you doom-saying is overrated.

    Apple is well positioned as its various versions of OS[es] are layed - User Interface, Media/Application Services, Core Services, and Core OS/iOS kernel - which allows Apple add/modify an abstraction layer and/or kernel to work on different hardware - unlike MS Windows in which these are all combined in each version of Windows [Embedded, RT, and NT].
