Even when Intel started recycling 14nm why would Apple actually care? Some of their computers have gone years without updates despite newer processors being available, it doesn't seem like an important feature of most of their computers.
In 2008 Apple bought PA Semi to design processors for iOS, make processors for Macs is likely something they've been working on since way before Intel was late on 10nm.
I have only seen a sentence or two mentioned in Bloomberg, etc. But it’s widely known that Intel haven’t delivered a true generational upgrade since Skylake.
10nm Icelake in the new 13" MBP is looking like the first solid generational upgrade in recent memory, but yeah, one qualified success in the last 4ish years does not a roadmap make.
