If someone with a Device from 2013, really waits for the ARM Version of a Mac Book, that person will not have any advantage to a normal intel cpu based Mac Book because EVERY device which is 7 years younger is so much faster anyway.
Upgrade prices where never reasonable.
Why would Apple ever reduce upgrade prices just because they might save 100$ on a CPU?
And why would you assume that the development of your own inhouse ARM CPU would make such a financial difference? After all, you have to develop a CPU.
And what? Apple reports over 25% profit; Why would you even assume that Apple is doing anything for you? They could easily reduce there profit margin for you. They don't.
You are running a 2013 Macbook Pro; there is no clear benefit for you buying a Macbook from 2020 with or without ARM at all.
Its absolutly unreasonable, if you are already running your Macbook from 2013, that the ARM will give YOU anything relevant extra as the general upgrade from a 7 year old device.
Its probably quite a linear cost vector they have.
I have to update the number in my head :D
It is quite closed minded to reduce this to 'the U.S. is a sick country'
