 Apple is switching over from x86 CPUs to building their own ARM processesor in their machines starting at the end of this year. So you're probably quite correct.

 I have a RPi3 and an 8GB RPi4. the 4 was an upgrade for my RetroPie, which I tool around on every few months. 

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my 3, I may set it up at my cottage to do some monitoring (if it goes offline due to power outage, I know how long, which will let me know if I need to throw the stuff in the refrigerator out), and maybe set up a camera or two around the property to keep an eye on things.

.... The nicest thing about growing older is that it takes such a long time.
