On: Apple makes up less than 5% of Arm's revenue, and Arm can't do anything about it

All ARM advancements since ARMv8 come FROM apple. How do you think it happens that anytime ARMv8.X is announced, apple announces "and our phones from 2 years ago and on support ARMv8.X"?

Evidently this does not apply to ARMv9/SVE, which Apple so far eschews.

This made me thinking Apple designed ARMv8 and gave it back to ARM. But from your source:

> Apple contracted ARM to design a new ISA for its purposes.

"We want you to design a new ISA, and btw, it would be extra cool if it happened to look just like this."
