Apple does not pay nothing. Read recent pre-IPO Arm SEC filing (not a lot of details, but enough to reveal they clearly aren’t paying nothing).

  The rumor is that Apple owns part of AArch64 itself, and it's relationship with ARM is more like the Intel/AMD relationship. That would mean that at a minimum they still pay for some of the Cortex M cores that are in their SoCs.

  Ah, good source to check, thanks.
