They are not attached to a HW, they'll sell you apple and its services, what ever helps them, they'll adopt it
PPC, Intel, ARM, RISC, it doesn't matter
And if they want a smart watch that last more than a mere day, they'll need to get rid of ARM asap anyways

- Kukumber 4y agoYes you are right, i don't know what i am talking about, i'm clueless, that's why apple watch doesn't last more than a mere day, it's because of me
- ksec 4y agoThe Apple Watch dont last more than a day has nothing to do with ARM the ISA. I expect a lot more on HN if you want to suggest something controversial.
- Kukumber 4y agoNow is your opportunity to change that and educate me What do you think is their motive? is it because interesting features such as the always-on module? doesn't that improve power efficiency of the device? Do you think they are scared about the future of ARM? its stagnation, in case of a potential purchase by Microsoft or worse, Qualcomm (king of inefficiency)? Or because it offers flexibility and modularity that can't be found on ARM?
