Just noting that Apple doesn't have a perpetual license, they have an architecture license[1], including for 64bit parts[2].
This allows them to design their own cores using the Arm instruction set[3] and presumably includes perpetual IP licenses for Arm IP used while the license is in effect. New Arm IP doesn't seem to be included, since existing 32bit Arm licensees had to upgrade to a 64bit license[2].
