Apple license the instruction set and make their own designs, so the interest in all that overhead business, let alone the political fallout (too much power in one company and fuels the Apple TAX headline mantra that will just roll and roll) - Apple don't want that hassel. But many reasons Apple buying ARM is not a good fit for Apple. Nvidia may well be good fit and a better fit than Apple by far, though would it be best if ARM is owned by some company or publicly listed? If I was Softbank, I'd go for IPO route as I do feel out of all the IPOs, this is a mature tech firm. That makes this one that will be popular on many levels, let alone the number of Geeks who will want an ARM share certificate upon their wall.
