Worth remembering that Apple’s Newton, which released in ‘93 and under development since ‘87 was an ARM6 device, that count?*cough*
'pioneer' != "joint venture"
What amazes me is that it took AAPL so, very long to find success in the Design.

What kind of lemons have you been eating? Mine have always been sour! Hmmmm. Strange!!I don't see the point in comparing it to a Macbook. It doesn't run MacOS. You're comparing Apples to Lemons. One is fun to use, and the other leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth.
And Acorn had released the first ARM devices in back in 1987, but they developed the processor a couple of years earlier and spun off the ARM processors into its own company, as a joint venture Apple and VLSI a couple of years later, so the actual processor existed and was on sale in finished products, before Apple got in on the act.Worth remembering that Apple’s Newton, which released in ‘93 and under development since ‘87 was an ARM6 device, that count?
Well, it's marketing, it's always an half-told story.
They wanted to prove they're faster and comparing against last year's M3 gave them what they wanted, so they went for that. Questionable? Yes. False? No.
Apple wants to prove they're faster, but M3 vs M4 gives risible improvements, so they use M1 or their 6 years old intel model as baselines on front-page splashes. Questionable? Yes. False? No.
The A in ARM is not acorn but Advanced Risc Machine. Certainly the company originated with Acorn. I was also an early investor in ARM when they went public and made a tidy sum when Softbank bought them. However, that has nothing to do with being a pioneer. ARM really was a product of Cambridge university alongside many other ÌT startups that were based in the area.They were certainly early investors in ARM, when it was split off from Acorn Computers and Benares m became simply ARM and not Acorn RISC Machine.
