ARM is a pretty decent platform and not too expensive to license. There is a whole toolchain/support/knowledge around ARM that is pretty extensive. Unless you were doing something pretty far-out there isn't really a compelling reason to jump... And Apple is hardly a Transmeta type. The most I'd expect is licensing the design and then combine/customise in a specialised way (e.g. adding some of the baseband pieces in?).
