”Apple has proven it can do emulation very successfully - it's already done it twice (M68K->PPC->x86)”
In both cases, from a situation where the platform being emulated was seriously behind, performance-wise.
I don’t think they can maneuver themselves in that position for a x86 ⇒ ARM migration (not even given that they can tweak their ARM variant)
Luckily, I don’t think they would need emulation. Many of their customers don’t run anything else than Apple’s software or popular open source apps that would be migrated within a few days on their Macs.
The others will have to wait until the likes of Adobe have ported their software.
