It really seems inevitable that Macs will switch over to Apple chips at some point, probably soon.

I think it’s the reason we haven’t seen a new Mac Mini. I also think it’s the reason iBooks (the app) was renamed to Books.

New iBook ARM laptop and an ARM Mac Mini.

It'd be nice if Apple's iOS JavaScript core reached parity with W3C features supported on other platforms and browsers. Notable emissions are RTC data channel, WebGl2, WebAudio, iffy PWA support ...

All that speed won't allow a developer to circumvent the app store for features pedestrian in other browsers and platforms

It’d be nice if Safari were more regularly updated too.
