> Apple didn't use ARM for something like a decade or two after that. They used the ARM610 in the Newton in 1993 (ARM was founded in late 1990) and then an 8 year gap to the iPod in 2001 (ARM7TDMI which are ARM designs.) Their first in-house ARM design (I believe) is the iPhone 4 in 2010. They definitely didn't "architect/design ARM" for nearly a couple of decades after founding ARM, yeah, but they did use them.
