Because they invested in their own chips so now they just need to finish transitioning the MacOS to ARM. No point changing your reliance to another x86 company when your main cash flow is from the iphone and you already invested billions into something that can be adapted for your other product categories

They're going to use ARM. Today they will announce their transition to ARM. Even Intel thinks they'll be doing this.

this. if they can develop a laptop capable CPU like they developed for the iPhone the macbook will (most likely) the best laptop on market, despite the high pricepoint
honestly the more they can develop and implement in house the better. i love that kind of business model and wish more companies would try to adhere to the "our hardware, our software" service model
