M is for Mystery
Horace Dediu thinking about the Apple’s M7 chip:
Perhaps this is why Apple chose to describe the iPhone 5s as “forward-thinking”. The M7 and the Touch ID are like research projects whose actual value will be realized at some future time, in probably different contexts. The M series of chips may become Apple’s “low end” microprocessor as the A series climbs the trajectory into core computing tasks (read: phone, tablets, TV, laptops).M might be the chip for the wearable segment, woven into a whole new fabric of uses and jobs to be done.
