The Information websiteSources have reported that Apple pays Arm less than 30 cents per chip for its technology patents.
Judging from the technology licensing situation that Apple obtains from Arm, it is mainly charged based on its instruction set and necessary technology patents, while the rest are based on its own architecture design. This is different from other chip manufacturers who use all of Arm's architecture design, instruction set and other projects to build processors, so the charging situation is naturally different.
If we look at it from a holistic perspective, even though Apple remains one of Arm's important customers, the fees Arm collects from Apple account for less than 5% of its annual revenue.
However, given the global penetration rate of iPhone products and their impact on the market, as well as the fact that Apple is currently adopting Arm architecture design in all its Mac and other products, it remains a key Arm customer.
Apple and Arm have re-signed a cooperation agreement in September this year, and it is expected that the technology patent licensing will be extended to after 9, but market rumors have it that Arm continues to hope to renegotiate licensing fees with Apple.
