ARM's market cap is 20B. If Apple sees enough benefit to do this, they can buy their way out of any legal questions that might arise.

It's not the money that's the hurdle for that, buying ARM would be a massive antitrust headache for Apple.
Is owning the ISA worth 20 billion dollars? You could buy half the music industry for that
If Whatsapp was worth 19B it's easy to see the ISA being worth at least that much.

edit: for what possible reason can this be downvoted? It's just a datapoint.
