The link to the report is broken, so here's the report. Love how early Apple started this shift in their chart, but the extra competition should be good.
Hardly. ARM processors have been used for years
It's not just that an ARM processor is being used. That would hardly be exciting.Hardly. ARM processors have been used for years
Hardware maybe. Everything apple has done software wise has been copy others. Apple Maps is a carbon copy of Google Maps. The weather app is now like Dark Sky which apple bought. Apple Music is trying to be Spotify etc.Apple once again leading the industry.

it cant be any worse then osx on m1. complete garbage.Hopefully it’s not buggy
This sadly is not a case of competition. For Apple at least.Competition is always good
Soooo, in other words, it's competition. If it wasn't, then Apple wouldn't have a problem.This sadly is not a case of competition. For Apple at least.
And in fact, I really see this as a big problem for Apple potentially.
Apple is in the hardware business. And they want to sell the most expensive Mac models they can.
They want to avoid a "race to the bottom".
Google is not in the hardware business much, and certainly not in the "expensive hardware" business.
So they -are- interested in a race to the bottom.
If Google can produce a custom chip that is twice as fast as current Chromebook CPUs, yet at a lower cost, then they will be able to offer decent performance Chromebooks for super-cheap.
But Apple is not in that market. In fact, they cannot be because they would hurt their MacBook Pro sales.
Which is why Apple banks on iPads for schools.
But the market is clear about schools wanting cheap laptops rather than iPads with no keyboards. Yet iPads even with cheap keyboards are typically more expensive than Chromebooks. If Chromebooks can undercut their current prices even more (due to custom CPU savings) while greatly increasing their performance, Apple really has a problem...
It is not competition because Chrombooks are in a market where Apple by definition cannot play. Or they would ruin their more expensive hardware sales.Soooo, in other words, it's competition. If it wasn't, then Apple wouldn't have a problem.
Not really, it's a fact that software-wise Apple is a follower, not a leader. Apple TV trying to be Netflix, Apple Fitness is copying Peloton. Even the things that Apple was "first" to adapt has been surpassed. Like Siri.Over simplification is FUN!

Has it though? They don’t sell much Android hardware. If it’s driving their other services, which is a possibility, strange that they still feel the need to pay Apple $15B to be the default search engine this year.Slavishly copying iOS to create Android worked pretty well...
Apple founded ARM with Acorn and VLSI. With Apple having the largest share 44%.
You think Apple is the only company that can produce a processor? Android was a copy of iOS and it's outselling iOS by about 6 to 1.I still don't get why Google is wasting money on hardware and "custom" chips (read: modified Exynos's). Slavishly copying Apple hasn't worked for anyone else, why should it work for them?
Well, they've been making their own server chips for decades. Nothing special.I still don't get why Google is wasting money on hardware and "custom" chips (read: modified Exynos's). Slavishly copying Apple hasn't worked for anyone else, why should it work for them?
