This will be good once they license the tech to clone manufacturers! [1] It would be like 1996 all over again. I'd like to have an ARM Thinkpad that performs better than an Intel one.

- olliej 8y agoI honestly can’t tell if you’re joking or not?
- kristianp 8y agoYes I'm joking, Apple would never open their hardware again. A nice dream though.
- olliej 8y agoMaking their software available for licensing is widely understood to be a fairly fundamental to the near bankruptcy of Apple in the mid 90s. Similarly why would Apple sell their hardware to other companies at below consumer prices? The best case scenario is that they ... make less money? Seriously, what is the reason that Apple should provide subsidized r&d for other companies?
