The iPhone has undoubtedly made a long journey as it was released for the first time more than five years ago. There is no question that the world changed with the issuance of the iPhone on June 29, 2007. As a proud owner of the OGI phone in 2007, I can see that once Apple changed the iPhone contact with AT&T’s slow males Edge with a speed of 3G, this device will become a mobile monastery.
As years passing, Apple’s A series application processors become more powerful and energy efficient
Things with Edge Connectivity were so slow that the only way to see YouTube video clearly was when you could get a Wi -Fi connection around you. Even worse, if you were using the Safari browser, you could not call or call at the same time. If someone tried to call you when you were checking New York Times The website, for example, your upcoming calls went to the right on the voice mail. In the event of an emergency, this is not good.

Since the release of the OGI phone, Apple has greatly improved the battery capacity from 1400mAh to 4685mAh (with the iPhone 16 Pro Max). OGI phones were also equipped with 128MB RAM compared to 8GB of iPhone 16 models (for Apple Intelligence purposes). The back camera on the OGI phone was 2 MP IPhone 16 Pro Max (With 48MP ultra -wide camera and 12 MP telephoto camera). What about the processor? The original iPhone was strengthened by SOC -based SOC from Samsung at 412MHz watch speed. For the iPhone 3GS released in 2009, Apple used an arm Cartax-A-8 Core Samsung CPU (APL 0298 C05). Apple first went into a 64 -bit architecture that was used to strengthen the iPhone 5s in the A7 chip set 2013. The chip was made by Samsung. Next year, Apple changed the TSMC for the A8 chip set used on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. It was built on the 20NM process node of the SOCTSMC.
A9 was a bit unusual because both Samsung and TSMC made a chip set for Apple. The latter built it on its 16nm process node, while Samsung used his 14nm process. Despite the use of a slightly advanced process node of Samsung, a benchmark test revealed that the version of the TSMC’s A -9SOC provided the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus users up to two additional hours of battery life.
Due to this, the so -called “chip gate” scandal, and some of the new iPhones buying some TSMC’s chip set were demanding a model. Even we showed you how to determine what SOC is within your iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus. Apple said the actual change in battery life between the two chip sets is 2 % -3 % in favor of TSMC and that it was actually supported by benchmark tests.
From OG iPhone to iPhone 16 line, iPhone CPU has increased performance by 384.9x
According to the Japanese Tech Blog PC Watch, using the Gack Bench to monitor the performance of the iPhone CPU, starts with the OG model in 2007, its annual improvement rate is 40 %. Overall, from OG iPhone IPhone 16 The series, iPhone CPU has added 384.9x to performance. With A19/A19 Pro Application processors we can watch with improvement, improvement in the latest iPhone series from OGI phones can be 500X or more.
The A19/A19 Pro will be constructed using the 3NM process node of the third generation of both TSMC. Next year the A20 application processor should be the first A-Series chips made by TSMC using its 2NM process node. As the process node becomes smaller, the size of the transistors is used on the chip. This increases the transistor density, which measures the number of transistors that can tie in a certain area of chip. This number has been expressed as millions of transistor per square millimeter (MTX/mmme).
A high transistor density means that a chip is more powerful and energy efficient than the theory, low transistor density chips. After 2NM, it is expected that the TSMC will start mass production of 1.4NM chips during the second half of 2028.
