Apple has shifted its processor technology every 11 years for its desktop machines. But it has kept with ARM on iPhone for the last 15, so... Anyhow, it is hard to predict with accuracy that far out. That said, the first indications of a shift would be Apple adopting the RISC-V chip on the low end, things like the Apple Watch and Air Pods. Apple Watch has been using a 7N ARM chip since 2018 at nearly the same speed -- it seems like it doesn't need to be getter faster at each generation like the iPhone or MacBooks do. If adoption happens in this peripheral areas, then it is likely to move upstream to other devices over time.
