The ARM licensing bit hasn't been relevant since SoftBank bought ARM. The preeminent issue is that Apple is already perfectly fine with warrantless surveillance and didn't leave the EU, US or anyone over it. This expectation for Apple to grow a San-Bernadino-esque backbone in an age where they manufacture backdoors for Five Eyes is hilarious.

Seriously; how do you expect Apple to hold a principled stance on privacy when they've already admit to warrantless surveillance? https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/06/apple-governments-surve...
