Apple is notorious for releasing products that cannibalize their own products, I don’t think that concern would dissuade them.

There are likely many people who are not ready to switch yet either.

It has been a while since the ppc/x86 transition, but I want to say it was a similar situation then




The first 20” Intel iMac was released in the same chassis as the G5 iMac it was replacing with 2-3x the CPU speed. I beleive they continued to sell the G5 model for a brief while though for those that needed a PPC machine.
