Great article ! This is the kind of content I always hope to find on HN's front page.
I really wonder how things are organized at Apple to allow for vertical integration to work so well. That feature alone must have involved so many people from so many different teams.
They’ve been through this a few times before, and they absolutely know how important it is.
If they had tried to move to Apple Silicon and said “but none of your old software will work“ it would’ve been dead in the water. Look at how well the early Windows on ARM efforts went, although they were also hamstrung by hardware.
