I would also doubt that the first ARM-based Macs will be Mac Pros or even Macbook Pros. Typical light users — the same ones who were the target audience for the Macbook, who value portability above all else and who use primarily a few core apps like Safari, Mail, Messages, possibly MS Office — are a much better fit. Apple can transition their own apps first and already have 90% of the functionality such users need without having to wait for even the first third party developer. Beyond this the most central failing of Intel's chips has been on the low-power end, and without doubt Apple's AX chip could restart stalled innovation in super-portable laptops. It would be ironic if the A-series introduction to Macs provides a long-missing substantive reason to the current arbitrary split between pro and non-pro Macs, but presence of Intel chips distinguishing the pro lines would certainly make the distinctions clear.

You would think in general that once something was seized by the police for evidence it should be kept detaached from the network.  Even without criminal intent, software updates and iCloud syncing updates could effectively alter evidence contained within an active cell phone.
