Nvidia buy ARM, Nvidia says AAPL must pay licence fees, AAPL says too much $$, buys Nvidia.
Heh, we think alike. Apple's already headed this possible problem off at the pass, has bought up long term licenses. Their recent A-series chips (for the iPhones) have been the first to use the latest iterations of ARM architectures.
Intel might also wind up in Apple's add-to-cart.
Apple wont have to pay license fees as they were involved in the creation of the original chip spec.
No antitrust issues there.
