I'm curious. Does ARM get royalties even on custom designed chips like apple's? Or only on reference cores?

Designing custom cores requires holding an architecture license which is ARM's highest-level license (beyond the perpetual multi-use — use a core in any product indefinitely — and the subscription — use any ARM product for a set duration). There are about a dozen architecture license holders.
