I don't know the answer to that, but keep in mind that Apple is control of the entire CPU design. They could for example put an x86 decoder in front of the ARM cores.

After all, modern Intel processors decode x86 to a simpler instruction set used internally anyway.

Doing something like this would be the smart move. If the do this they’re going to need to give developers lead time to get their software up to date.
