Apple kicked Imagination Technologies out of its SoCs in 2017, and arguably was designing most of the GPUs even before.

Going with AMD would have been a way more surprising route (and nvidia even more...), unless we are talking about the successor of the MacPro. But that will most certainly be the last Mac to be updated.

More interesting will be the high end iMacs and MacBooks: AMD GPUs or Apple GPUs?

Apple signed a new licensing agreement with Imagination Technologies in January of this year. I suspect there was a major litigation threat somewhere behind that.

Yesterday I wouldn't have said Apple, but now I'm almost certain it will be.
