First, the title is click bait and inaccurate; short of the author having a magic crystal ball, this is 100% speculation and theory.
The move from PowerPC to Intel was great and helped break down several barriers that were in the way. While ARM could offer them some advantages, it has its own downsides that must be factored, and is not as clear a slam dunk.
Also, the author references a projection they made three years ago about how ARM-Based macs are coming - Which would make sense if it actually since came true, but there has been no change in the state of ARM on Mac's that would justify even mentioning this. They are still making a wild guess that still has not come true.
So maybe they'll roll out a mac mini with an ARM processor - or maybe something else entirely. Or nothing. It's (relatively) safe to say they'll keep pushing the ball, but it remains to be seen which direction.
