The Apple strategy with its new M1 computer chips is analogous to iPhone vs Android.
iPhone's integration of hardware + software + app store has a cohesion that dozens of 3rd party hardware manufacturers can't have with multiple Android versions & loosely-regulated app store.

Google has tried to reign this in by mandating manufacturer standards to get Google Apps, but it leaves much to hardware makers, who are also desperate to differentiate.

The M1 chip w/integrated RAM/GPU/APU performs better, lets Apple retain premium pricing, but unlikely to shift share.
-market is mature
-*most* software runs well on 6 yo PCs
-new ones are cheap
The 1 exception: if Apple goes HARD after gaming market, where performance matters.

The #gaming market and Apple's long-rumored pursuit of #AR/#VR are the computer world's premium pricing drivers of the future. The M1 chip fits well into that strategy and this is likely Apple's next big market - and ecosystem.
