I doubt it. For one thing this is a Mac processor not a iPhone/iPad processor so mobile apps aren't really an issue in this context:
Apple has introduced the new M1 chip that will power its new generation of Arm-based Macs
Secondly, most of the apps worth using are already available on Android and iOS since iOS users are more profitable than Android users. Finally pretty much all FOSS is compilable on MacOS and iOS and even most of the Microsoft products are available on MacOS these days. I've been using Linux and MacOS for decades now and I've hardly ever come across anything that I could not do on either OS because of 'missing apps' so I'd really like to know what 'apps' these he's whining about not being available on MacOS are and that you can't find replacements for. Maybe museum grade legacy Windows apps of some kind?

Sorry, none of the apps I need exist in the Apple ecosystem.
The performance doesn't impress me.
They were on the right track with the Intel Macs- and made a mistake by eschewing AMD's new chips for ARM. Big mistake.

Just out of curiosity, what apps are those?

Android-only ones maybe?
