I think they will with ARM. My bet is the switch will allow for a lot of the nice parts of iPhone/iPad to now be incorporated. They have to shove random chips in addition to Intel CPU to handle certain features they really want on macOS, but the switch to ARM SoC will have those chips +the missing ones to all be incorporated into one, allowing them to handle tasks native to iOS/iPadOS.

Gui Rambo’s $10 Mac utility AirBuddy has been updated to version 2 today. I love AirBuddy because it’s very much the sort of AirPods integration that should be baked into macOS, but for some reason isn’t.
AirBuddy will show you AirPods or Beats headsets when they’re near your Mac, just like iOS does. You can connect with a click, change listening mode of AirPods Pro with a trackpad swipe, and even set up custom connection modes for different devices, so a pair of AirPods can be set to always come up in Transparency mode with the microphone set as an input, while a set of Beats can always come up with noise cancellation on.
If you use AirPods on your Mac, AirBuddy can be a solid enhancement to the experience. Check it out.
AirBuddy 2, the follow up to one of my favorite apps for the Mac, is now available to pre-order with a general release coming on November 11.
These AirBuddy are amazing they automatically play audio as soon as you put them in your ears and pause when you take them out. A simple double-tap during music listening will skip forward. To adjust the volume, change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just say “Hey Siri” to activate your favorite personal assistant. AirBuddy 2 is meant to make connecting AirPods and Beats headphones to a Mac as seamless as connecting to an iOS device. When AirPods are near a Mac with AirBuddy 2 installed, a window. I bought reflector 2 also, but it didn't install onto the Shield after a while, so I got a refund. It did say purchased in the play store on the shield though. Would still be interested if anyone else has tried Relector 2. Hopefully they'll add support for the Nvidia Shield TV soon. I would buy Reflector 2 immediately.
AirBuddy is developed by 9to5Mac’sGui Rambo, and I’ve been using the original version since it was released in 2019. One of the benefits of Apple’s W1/H1 chips is how easy it is to pair AirPods and Powerbeats Pro to your iOS device. Apple hasn’t made it quite as easy to pair them with the Mac, though.
That is where AirBuddy comes in. It brings that same simplicity to the Mac. With AirBuddy 2, the connection process of AirPods to the Mac is taken to the next level with a refreshed user interface, improved reliability, and many new features.

If you frequently are connecting your AirPods to your Mac for Zoom calls, listening to Apple Music, etc., AirBuddy will become one of your favorite apps. I am currently using a beta of AirBuddy 2, and it takes everything about the original app and makes it better. I couldn’t imaging using a Mac without it.
