Forget custom ML silicon, Apple also have custom Arm instructions that as far as I'm aware they still don't think we're of the sort to have earned the right to know about (officially).

That's something that ARM explicitly use as a selling point to attract people to license their designs. https://www.arm.com/technologies/custom-instructions https://www.arm.com/technologies/custom-instructions

  Apple have a FU licence, it's not that kind of arrangement.

    Apple has an architectural license that allows them to build ARM-compatible processors with custom micro-architecture. I'm sure others like Google and Nvidia also have it.
