It's not about trusting Apple. It's about recognizing that if Apple can push ARM performance to that level then other companies will eventually catch up as well, and if commodity ARM is actually competitive with commodity Intel then they have a problem. Intel has a huge competitive advantage here in the bulk of the market, but ARM will find an opening as well. They'll probably coexist for some time.
