In 2005, Apple announced that it would no longer use IBM's PowerPC processors and would switch to Intel processors, which was a big change in Apple at that time. But now, Apple is considering developing its own desktop chips.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is confident that ARM series mobile chips used in iOS devices will soon be used in Apple's desktops and tablets. Although Intel chips are still widely used by Apple at present, as the performance of mobile devices becomes more and more powerful, the boundaries between smart phones, tablets and PCs become more and more blurred, and the trend of transformation of Apple chips is inevitable.

Some analysts pointed out that the use of new products of the same type on Apple's full range of products will help to unify Apple's future products. Windows 8, recently launched by Microsoft, is a good example to unify the user experience of mobile phones, tablets and PCs. Bloomberg said that the potential demand for unified user experience is huge, but this transformation may last for several years.
