Instead of selling the M1 to manufacturers, Apple will create additional consumer devices with it, and take over everything. For example, in a few years, a console:
Apple will finally enter the game console market, with such a leap in CPU and GPU, that its premium-pricing will be value-for-money.
The higher price will be acceptable to consumers, via monthly plans (as for iphones) - it will be locked down, so the App store will be the only way to use it.
Technologically, they have great SP, they just need great MP. Same for GPU. They can do it.
Games: ARM-based machines are certainly capable - consider the AAA ports to the Switch. They can port again. iPhone GPUs have been more powerful than its 500GFLOPS (undocked) for a while. They also have many games - and developers - on the App store.
