I've read a lot of news articles this week about Apple adopting ARM processors for future Macs, but not one of them seemed to mention that ARM was created as a joint venture between Apple, Acorn and VLSI in 1990.

I wonder if any of the original designers are still at Apple?
The original designers (primarily Sophie Wilson and Steve Furber) were never at Apple. It was entirely Acorn's design, and Apple just helped to fund it as a spin-off so they could use the chips in the Newton.

Ah, I remember the Newton, my uncle had one! Why do I have some recollection there was some chip design discussion about synchronous vs asynchronous processor architecture?

I don't really know what that would mean... but there was plenty of "discussion" about CISC vs RISC architectures...
