You don't seem to have got what happened: IBM decided to stop spending millions of cash to do custom development for a _small_ and _niche_ customer that afterwards whined all the time and never bought the promised volumes.
So Apple had to choose another chip. Simple as that.
But Apple will never admit it.

apple was forced to go intel? WTF? How would that work? You have anything to back this claim up? How can intel force Apple to do anything? This makes no sense...
The switch was 1) economies of scale - intel motherboards are commodities 2) IBM couldn't make a low wattage, fast laptop chip. Intel does.
