No problem. I understood that too. 
By the way, what you wrote is already starting to be typical of Huawei. Samsung has long since entered this river.

If Apple can also design and build an Intel-based processor, why does it need ARM? The switch from Powerpc to Intel was a different situation at the time. as now
Itâs more power efficient, so longer battery life.
In my humble opinion, the development of ARM has been about that so far.
I wonder how this will affect AMD and Intel. Poor AMD, they just started pulling their sh*t together
Please donât bring politics to this discussion. Has nothing to do with âmade in usâ stuff.
I donât really understand what you are trying to say. Apple canât and doesnât build Intel chips as it hasnât got the license or anything else for it. They basically canât build anything on x86
X86 isnât just as scalable as ARM architecture is. Itâs also way more power efficient.
I donât see any politics. The fact is Apples decision is based on a number of things such being able to have more control and ARM based processor is being designed for their hardware to be more efficient and better performance.
I mean, in many places you can read that Apple is going to make its own processor for its Macs.
Only one reason, other reason is that Intel canât provide what apple needs/wants. And AMD canât either.
And that is the reason they do it with ARM instruction set. As there is not really other options than intel,amd and arm. And only the last on provides easy way to build own custom chips.

Maybe I am old but did everyone forget that apple wasnât originally intel based 
they are not imho switching from intel to arm they are switching back

Iâve never owned an Apple product. I have all my own built pcâs as i am a desktop user. I have a problem first off with the prices and where they are made. Secondly if i was going to buy an Apple it would be the Imac. They are supposedly bringing back the 24" which is most likely what i would buy.

Donât forget that this switch was already heavily speculated through this past decade by the Apple community. The iPad and the iPhone were Apples testing ground for the ARM chip and when Apple released the ultra-thin and small Macbook ( not the Air and also not the white original Macbooks) the entire Apple community and myself thought it would ship with ARM.
I personally am looking forward to this first Macbook ARM and Iâve never been so excited for an Apple product launch since the first iMac, the Cube and the iMac G4 (the one with the screen attached to a moveable arm) As @BONK already said, Iâm probably getting old, but those PowerPC days were the most exciting period in Apple history, for me. So ARM, bring it on.

Arm has about 95 % of the smart phone market.

Apple has never been particularly wedded to ANY particular processor. They started with the 6502 chip (like Commodoreâs 6510, but fewer features), switched to Motorola with the 680x0 family, jumped to PowerPC because of itâs relative capability and similarity in programming, and then to Intel (despite the programming problems) because of the hardware ubiquity - and that they only needed better software to stand out from MicrosoftâŚ
Not exactly a track record to show fidelity to a standard (other than their own, of course!). If they think that ARM is a better way forward, it may well be. Certainly it has a chance to be an improvement - as any attempt by Intel to âpower upâ their chips has led to high power usage and lots of heat!
Of more importance (I submit) is that Linux (and Arch!) will be able to go where it leads without major issues - and we can Endeavour to follow

Why does only ARM provide an easy way to make your own custom chips? Why couldnât Intel or AMD provide that?
Is this very true even though the Powerpc was not developed by Motorola?
