In addition to making high-end consumer hardware, including iPhone and iPad, Apple also makes a series of system-on-chip (SoC). These SoC are designed for Apple's own consumer hardware products, mainly using the ARM architecture. In addition to the new Mac computers, Apple chips are used in a variety of Apple products, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, etc. When it comes to Apple chips, there are a lot of things to unravel, so we decided to create a special center to show all the information you need to know about Apple chips.

Before the release of the M1 chip, Apple has been making its own SoC for A-series iPhone, iPad and so on. While we will not delve into all A-Series processors dating back to 2010, we will include those that are still relevant and have not been discontinued by Apple. With this, let's get started: the Apple A series includes the SoC series for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV and other models. The A-Series SoC integrates one or more ARM-based processors, graphics units, caches, and other components on the chip that are critical to providing a comprehensive computing experience.

The Apple A4 is technically the first SoC in the A-series. It is also the first SoC designed internally by Apple. The company uses older SoC such as APL0098, APL0278, APL0298 and APL2298 for its original iPhone, second-generation iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod Touch devices, respectively.

Back to the Apple A4, which is designed by Apple and manufactured by Samsung. The A4 was first commercially available in 2010 with ARM Cortex-A8 CPU and PowerVR SGX 535 GPUs. This special chip was first used in Apple's iPad and later in iPhone 4. The A4 has been discontinued by Apple and replaced by a new A5 chip launched in March 2011. Without much introduction, here's a quick look at every Apple A-Series SKU launched so far: of all Apple devices, Apple TV HD uses one of the oldest A-Series chips, the Apple A8. This is a 64-bit SoC that made its debut with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in 2014. Apple only officially sells iPhone 11 and later on its website, which means that the Apple A13 Bionic is technically the oldest Apple A-a series of chips you can officially purchase from Apple as part of its iPhone series. However, you can purchase other devices, including the Apple TV HD, to get the older A-Series. This is also a good reminder that Apple needs to update its hardware.

The latest iPhone, the iPhone 13 series, uses Apple's A15 bionic chip. These phones use six-core processors up to 2.93 or 3.23 GHz (2x Avalanche) + 2.016 GHz (4x Blizzard) CPU as well as single-channel LPDDR4X memory. We recommend that you read our comments on iPhone 13 Pro to learn more about the performance you can get from the A15 bionic chip.
