Curious what chip Apple has put in its iPhones over the years, or which A-series is used in your current iPhone? What about which chip was used in the original iPhone? Read on for a complete list of iPhone chips that have been included in every iPhone model since 2007.
Apple focuses more on the capabilities of its iPhones than on the detailed specifications they are based on. But a big part of that is building your own SoC (System on a Chip) for your devices, which are fine-tuned to be as powerful and efficient as possible with iOS. It all really started with the iPhone and led to the A-series chips in the iPad, as well as the Apple Silicon M-series for Mac computers.
One example of this impressive hardware and software development was 2019, when the 4GB RAM iPhone 11 Pro Max outsold the 12GB RAM Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ in a speed test. The tight integration between the iPhone and iOS hardware made up for the memory difference by more than 8 GB. The same is usually true for iPads and Macs as compared to Android tablets and PCs.
However, Apple didn’t use custom chips in every iPhone… Can you guess which ones used chips from another company?
