I've heard that as well, which is why I'm hoping that the next

Considering that Apple makes almost all of its money from hardware, I
think you have a better chance of seeing pigs fly

Not to mention the fact that Apple already tried and abandoned a
3rd-party hardware licensing scheme back in the 90s.

Nonetheless, Apple's revenues are no longer so strongly weighted toward
Macintosh hardware. The iPods are very significant source of revenue,
as are music and video sales via the iTunes store.

Apple is still very much a proprietary hardware and software operation
and I'd be surprised to see that change, but I'd definitely be a lot
more surprised by non-ballistic porcine flight.
