Just a few days ago I was reading about how Intel might start making ARM chips. 2 + 2 = ...?

Biggest reason the Apple-ARM rumor is not entirely infeasible to me is Apple has never been performance-first, and I could see them taking a performance hit for aesthetic or form gains.

one of the biggest reasons Apple would switch to ARM for laptop-like products is to reduce their dependence on Intel's effective monopoly!

Well, they could certainly switch using intel ARM chips. Eases the transition (maybe?) and once everything is on ARM they can switch to another manufacturer anytime.
