As has been said, it could go either way but I remember when I bought my first Mac, back in 2008 which was a couple of years into the Intel transition. At that point in time, the bottom had pretty much collapsed in the market for PowerPC based Macs, even though the OS still supported them.

The thing is most Macs on the market spend their lives doing mundane, mainstream tasks. In reality very few used them to do specialist tasks or use specialist software or bother with things like boot camp or windows virtualisation.
Sure lots of people on here talk about those thing on here but this is an enthusiast forum and we know that enthusiasts are very much a small fraction of the user base.
I can see the bottom of the market falling out fairly quickly after the transition completes. Mainstream users just don’t need X86 support and will want the latest Apple silicon cuz marketing. These are also the people that drive the used market.
I can also see Apple obsoleting lots of older models fairly quickly from OS updates.

Are there any issues putting a screen protector on a 2020 MBP 13? My daughter has asked for one but I seem to recall that adding anything might cause problems with pressure on the screen when the lid is closed? Does anyone use one here?
