Apple will not make Macs forever. A macOS-ARM VM that runs on iOS is plausible. There is certainly precedent for this sort of thing (Classic on PowerPC Macs, Rosetta on Intel Macs). We might even have Homebrew ARM :p
- mark_l_watson 9y agore: "Apple will not make Macs forever": you may be right, but I would guess that the Mac product line will be profitable enough to last a long time. That said, I now only use my Mac while coding, and all other reading, research, and writing is done on one of my iOS devices. What I want is a powerful phone that air docs to screens, keyboards, etc. as needed. I use Dropbox, iDrive, Google Drive, and OneDrive - I like them all (especially for multiple backup targets) but I would really one phone-like device with sharable peripherals both at home and in public places.
