I think it's a valid prediction, but I don't think they'd accept programmers for Apple products using non-Apple products; I don't know what they'd do. Sony doesn't mind people using PCs to develop for the PS3, and game development is murderously complex compared to anything developed for iOS either inside or outside Apple. But their servers are all (I hear) XServes, and they basically eat their own dog-food, so I'd expect a follow-up of some sort. You could be right but if there's a case for Apple to be in the server business, I sure don't see it.
