 It would help to provide a link to what you are proposing... The only
thing I found (after skipping over the "ApplePi DAC", "Apple Pi Mead", and
Washington Apple Pi Mac user's group)...
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=130043

 ARM processors are a totally different architecture, so binaries won't
work (iOS, OTOH, likely IS running on ARM, so might be an option).

 FreeBSD (part of the core of current Mac OS) however is a possibility
-- you just don't get the Apple GUI.

 The last potential route is to run a processor virtualization (QEMU)
configured to look like a Macintosh.

>1 last question can the above pi run 32 bit software?

 While both RPi-3 models are 64-bit quad-core processors, the
NOOBS/Raspbian release is still only 32-bit for compatibility with earlier
RPi models (I do wish the foundation would consider packaging a 64-bit
version as an optional secondary download [complete download, not something
that gets downloaded during NOOBS start-up -- I want to do ONE download and
write to multiple SD cards])
