Wouldn’t it be still be billion of dollars considering the number of devices Apple produce?

Less than $134 million if the article is correct in saying that Apple accounts for less than 5% of ARM's revenue.

At a royalty of $0.30 per chip, Apple would need to order over 3.33 billion chips for ARM to hit a billion in sales.

That math still isn't mathing. There are more ARM chips then just the CPU in Apple devices.
