Such can be done with translation tools (_x86 -> ARM assembler). 
They've possibly developed or acquired such for their iOS products.

The ARM 64 bit register set will offer a lot more opportunity to keep 
more data in register rather than on stack which will help functions 
blaze v. x86.

x86: 16 x 64b registers.

ARM_64:	31 x 64b - though the ARM procedure calling convention allocates 
several specifically.  Apple follow that convention to a large degree 
but have their own "guideline" for some register use and specifically 
reserve x18 and x29.  Apple also have slightly different stack/register 
conventions/alignments/restrictions than ARM.
