It seems that the new macs are able to run mobile apps, and it won't take long until android does the same on windows pcs.<p>Is there a chance that in 10 years everybody is using native mobile apps on desktops?<p>Chuckling...
You could flip it around and ask - given that phone chips are approaching desktop level performance, how native do you need to go? We're already seeing native apps become less "native". Using high level frameworks that provide a common core between platforms is pretty standard nowadays.<p>IMO the biggest driver already is and will be app store/platform policies. Fundamental hardware constraints are secondary.
“Always bet on the web.”<p>PWA trumps mobile apps — until or unless it can be articulated why a PWA/hybrid app won’t work, but that is the small minority of app cases.
No.<p>ARM has a huge problem with compatibility and secrecy.<p>Buy a random intel machine .... will it run Windows and Linux? YES.<p>Buy a random ARM device..,, will it run Linux? Maybe, probably not, even if it does, probably there’s problems and issues caused by the CPU vendor keeping aspects of its design secret.<p>ARM is a very very long way from replacing Intel.
