I just wonder what implications is the Arm sale to Nvidia going to have on Apple, who is switching their MacOS hardware from Intel to Arm.

Apple owns a perpetual ARMv8.2 license. And since they work closely with ARM on ARMv9 they might already have a license for that as well.

Basically doesn't concern Apple at all.

Apple is already shipping devices with ARMv8.4; do they need a specific license for that?

Hopefully MacBooks will be able to have GPUs that aren’t pitiful and outdated?
