The company set out to design a silicon chip that would allow it to cut ties with Qualcomm, a longtime supplier and bitter foe.

That’s kind of the point being made in the article, though: they could succeed in the chip game thanks to a multi-decades head-start from ARM

Apple basically created ARM (look into the history of the chip design company).

Who knows, maybe in 30 years their cell modem efforts will be good enough to use. Or maybe not. I don’t think Apple really minds either way there’s nothing wrong with Qualcomm chipsets.

Future isn’t ARM it’s Risc-V. Apple just learned this and they are attempting to adapt.
