"The relationship between Apple and Arm Holdings dates back to 1990, when Apple Computer UK became a founding co-stakeholder. The other co-partners at that time were the Arm concept's originator, Acorn Computers Ltd. (more about Acorn later) and custom semiconductor maker VLSI Technology (named for the common semiconductor manufacturing process called "
very large-scale integration"). Today, Arm Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SoftBank, which
announced its intent to purchase the licensor in July 2016. At the time, the acquisition deal was the largest for a Europe-based technology firm.'
