They have to keep this guy. The M series chips are amazingly good.

I do wonder whether the announcement regarding Intel manufacturing low-end SoCs is triggering this dissatisfaction.

Setting aside the political side-effects of throwing support behind Intel and its US government-backed investment, we've seen movement on modem chip development and low-end SoCs for sub-MacBook Air and iPhone Air / SE / other models.

Perhaps this is the classic low-end / high-performance bifurcation problem (i.e., Srouji is focused on high-performance chips while the greater executive class is focused on service of the Walmart demographic, e.g., Made-In-USA, inexpensive, wider market acceptance).

Is the swing toward lower-end chips appreciably caused by the Trump administration (tariffs, push for a return of U.S. manufacturing, Apple's kowtowing to Trump (e.g., pressure to "kiss the ring" / Tim Apple's golden present to the president), etc.)?

Asking out of genuine curiosity because I know very little about chip manufacturing and Apple's internal processes and politics.
