    how much of ARM’s work are they actually using?

    Apple doesn’t use Arm’s designs for their chips. They have a license to the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and use that to make their own designs.

      My understanding was that their right are pretty broad and that they could basically use official designs, fully custom designs, or anything in between.

      My question is whether they adopt any design elements from ARM (whether modified or not) or if it’s completely an implementation of the instruction set from scratch.
