There is a persistent rumor that Apple’s longterm goal is to ditch x86 altogether and migrate MacOS to their own in-house ARM-based processors. (Which admittedly have gotten quite impressive, though the switch would obviously cause lots of headaches in regards to legacy software)

That's only true of desktops though.
