The iPhone would not have been feasible if it were not for Apple’s investment into ARM in the early 1990s. Most historians seen the Newton as a failure, but just the ARM chip investment by Apple for the Newton alone has made Newton one of Apple’s most valuable investments.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1157671611023015936 …

On this day August 2nd, 1993 Apple released the Newton MP100.
This is the antecedent to the every smartphone. Apple invested $2.5m for 43% of ARM. The ARM chip would have been a footnote otherwise.
