No way on this side of the known universe!
Not unless iOS starts running on Intel/AMD x86_64 CPUs.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I thought the Apple Grand Plan was to go the other way and create high performance ARM64 CPUs for iMAC and MacBook products and port macOS to ARM! Not sure what happens to running VirtualBox on mac then...

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

That's been a rumor since the A2 chipset and we're now up to A10 (or something?). But if that happens, you can kiss your VirtualBox goodbye....

That doesn't sound likely. Apple has already tried using non WinTel hardware. They changed to Intel for good reason, i.e. compatibility with the entire peripherals universe of x86, and the potential to dual boot Windows and thus entice business users into the camp.
