Apple designed its own ARM chips and they design some pretty damn good ones. More competition and choice in the semiconductor space is universally a good thing.

Can you actually purchase an Apple ARM SOC or make your own SOC with their processor for product development? If not, then I wouldn't classify them has a competitor since they only allow for internal usage.
