This is the processor that each iPhone model has had

iPhones have used many processors throughout history, this is the chip that each one has used.

These are the chips that all iPhones have used

A long time has passed since Apple introduced the first iPhone in 2007, and, although many may not know it, at first the processors it used were not designed by the company itself. Thethree first iPhone models used Samsung processorsslightly modified by Apple for its smartphone.

It was not untiliPhone 4, and its A4 chip, when Apple decided to make a historic decision by including the first processor that the company had designed from start to finish. Since then, the evolution has been exponential with improvements each year that have led to theM series chipsthat we have available on Macs.

All processors in each iPhone

The evolution of Apple processors during the first years was truly incredible, withprocessors that doubled their power from one generation to the next. Now the improvements are no longer so drastic, since Apple has reached a very important level of maturity with its chips.

Here is the list with each Apple iPhone, the processor it used and the available cores. In parentheses you can see the arrangement of these nuclei, first showing thenumber of high-performance cores and then the number of high-efficiency cores. Something common in the latest Apple chips.
