Apple has put a new job post online for an Engineering Manager (Platform Bring-Up). This job post suggests Apple is aiming to bring its new processor architecture to more platforms.
“The Core Platform team within Apple's Core OS organization is looking for a talented and inspired manager to lead a team focused on bring-up of iPhone OS on new platforms. The team is responsible for low level platform architecture, firmware, core drivers and bring-up of new hardware platforms. The team consists of talented engineers with experience in hardware, firmware, IOKit drivers, security and platform architecture.”
So the chance of seeing new iPhone OS based hardware is very high. Besides new hardware, it could also very well be that Apple will take a look at current products like Apple TV which would benefit from the OS and chip architecture.
