I know people tend to get very upset by this but if I’m not mistaken the M1, M2 and I think the M3 processors all now have “unfixable” hardware level security bugs on par with SPECTRE that destroy the concept of a Secure Enclave AFAIK.

So essentially they might be fast but they all have genuinely fatal flaws in them.
But it’s not just the software that stinks.
when I learned that fact it made me feel as if I want to switch away on a hair trigger, I do wonder if other modern arm platforms are safer, or just less scrutinized, and if Apple is still safer than Intel?
