I'm glad to see this as the outcome. I believe this will not only help ARM's future, but also the future of computing as a whole.

I actually think this is going to be really hard for ARM. Probably a great thing for Nvidia though but hard for ARM. They are not a very profitable company and need a bigger company to own them and put up with the lack of profitability for the prestigae of it. Their business model requires a lot of money on R&D. Last year they made only 274 million dollars of Net income. Intel, AMD, and Nvidia make almost 65% margin on their businesses and large profits. Intel for example made 19 billion dollars in Net Income last year even though ARM was in far more machines. I'm not sure the stock market is going to look to favorable on a company that's been around for over 30 years and barely making any profit at all.  

I think the problem apple has is their voice assistant is terrible. They could totally win this market if they actually cared about Siri but it's just sooo bad. My mother is sight impaired. So we have used all the voice assistants to see which would make her life better for her in her house. Siri was terrible, it keeps giving a visual response to an auditory question and can barely do anything. Amazon and Google are amazing. For my mother we actually switched to google completely because it just seemed to be the best at audio intelligence. I would love so much for her to have the HomePod mini from a privacy standpoint but it's just not possible with how bad it is. The sound of the HomePod and HomePod mini is great, it's just Siri is the worst product that Apple makes hands down. 

Having both the Airpods Pro and the Airpods I find the Airpods much more functional. I really hope they don't change the design on the airpods they are just so much easier to use on the go.
