The collaboration between ARM and Apple is going strong. Apple has long used ARM technologies in its A-series Bionic processors, which it has used in iPhones. However, the launch of the M-series processors took this collaboration to a new level. Now, a new agreement has been signed between the two companies. Apple has signed a new deal with ARM that is “expected to extend beyond 2040”. Here are the details…
Apple Signs New Agreement with ARM That Extends Beyond 2040
Apple has signed a new agreement with ARM that extends beyond 2040. The deal, which was disclosed in ARM’s IPO filing, is expected to be worth billions of dollars. The companies’ chips are used in a wide range of devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and servers. Apple is one of ARM’s largest customers, using its chips in all of its iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch devices.
The new agreement ensures that Apple will continue to have access to ARM’s latest chip designs, which will be critical for the company’s future products. The deal is also a major victory for SoftBank, ARM’s parent company. SoftBank had been hoping to sell ARM to Nvidia, but the deal was blocked by regulators in the United States and the European Union.
The new agreement with Apple gives SoftBank a major source of revenue as it prepares to take ARM public. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is likely that Apple will pay ARM a significant royalty for each chip that it uses. The deal is also likely to include provisions that give Apple some say in ARM’s future development.
