1. Maybe, although we don't really know and there is almost certainly stuff that Apple has access to which isn't patents - can they pick up the phone to someone at Arm to discuss and get help on an issue - very likely. Plus as I've said before those patents and associated IP might be integral to Apple's designs and they absolutely should pay for them. 2. Of course, that's just how patents work. But there is no evidence that Arm is doing this. Overall, I don't agree with the sense that Arm is an overhead for Apple that if it weren't for those pesky patents they would cast aside and cut their costs. I think it's more complex than.
