OK, I agree that it changed the world. But Nokia getting sabotaged played a role.
I’m still not sure how much different modern processor-building is between ISA’s beyond the decoder and legacy limitations, which are harder on Intel architecture than on ARM.
I suppose M-things are cool, so a milestone, and a welcome one, but, apart from Hackintosh builders, it doesn’t raise the demand for ARM machines a lot. The demand for Apple machines on ARM - yes, since they’ve gotten a new technical cool factor, which hasn’t happened for some time before that transition.
They sometimes do good things which become fashion, and they do bad things which become fashion (I still hate widescreens on personal computers ; you either get distracted by what’s above and below the screen, or get anxious from the sides being in peripheral vision zone ; anyway, we still scroll vertically).
