Most phones barely run anything but bytecode anyway. Iphones do, but the biggest advantage of an M1 in that case the advantage by far ought to be "runs macos"

x86 rapidly losing in serverspace? No. If you work on servers you are still mostly working on x86. And in most cases it wouldn't matter anyway.
Lot of hypotheticals to try and justify it.

- tjoff 4y agoWhich runs just fine on x86 as well... My point was that the intersection between the low level programming where you do care about which architecture you are running on and phones is very very slim. Not saying that shouldn't be the case, but that is unfortunately where we are.
