Former iPhone Leader Joins Arm to Bring More Chips Into Your Life

“I can bring a more system level mentality…

He joins Arm during a crucial time.

The newly allied ArmChief Executive Rene HaasandFadell shared the stageThursday at theWeb Summitin Lisbon, Portugal.

The biggest reason Fadell liked Arm designs over alternatives is its focus on low power consumption.

Performance couldn’t come at the cost of bad battery life.

“Arm was the first processor to really be low power,” Fadell said.

Now Arm plans an initial public offering.

Fadell himself shared those concerns and asked about them when Haas invited him to join, he said.

“I can’t say anything more than that.

But I’m very excited about the next chapter.”
