I would be so surprised to even see that. For a second I pondered the idea of Apple perhaps using Intel as a fab for older chips in less demanding devices like the Homepod or the Apple TV, but that can never be better than simply using older iPhone chips. Just keep the old fabs pumping out old chips. I have to come to the conclusion that this statement just a rallying cry. Woo the uninformed that Intel will get Apple back, and try and rally the informed using this crazy claim as a North Star: Intel will become so good in the future, Apple wished they could come crawling back, if not for their pride.
