In case anyone's wondering, sadly you can't use a PowerPC Mac to set up an Apple Silicon Mac through a FireWire to Thunderbolt cable using Migration Assistant. However, Finder can still access the PowerBook and you can manually copy files across. The CD drive works too.

@LuftkoppTim iPods are pretty much just dumbed-down Apple Watches in terms of functionality, they don't need an A-series chip when the S-series chip does everything an iPod needs to do with better power efficiency too. S5 because it's the first to support AOD.
