No, they didn't. Apple "designed" a SoC which uses ARM, which -- in essence -- has the same blackbox functionality in TrustZone.
Apple "designed their own processors" to further trap people in their walled garden. More things done under contract "in-house" = more room for profit margins and less scrutiny. They can literally do whatever they want now, which was the point.
Still, good luck running any x86 software. And no, I don't mean Rosetta 2. I mean native code execution. And good luck getting any actual work done now that Apple has reduced their offerings to what are essentially tablets with nicer screens, assembled by the lowest bidder for maximum profit at the expense of their devotees.
My guess is that's part of the reason why Apple said fuck Intel & designed their own processors?
Just a running theory of mine...
