Bionic chip

Apple [enter model name here] was powered by a groundbreaking Bionic chip, which gave the best performance.

Bionic are a lineup of custom designed ARM Chris OCP’s that are based on them and they power the iPhone, iPad, as well as some models of iPad Pro under the Apple name. These chips were first released in 2017 with the A11 Bionic and have been synonymous with blazing speed, battery efficiency and cutting-edge AI features.

A Bionic punched includes:

CPU (Central Processing Unit) – performance in general

with regards to GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) – for gaming and visual rendering

Neural Engine — for machine learning and AI purposes

ISP (Image Signal Processor) – improve the camera

Face ID, Touch ID and encryption using Secure Enclave.

Notable Bionic Chips:

A11 Bionic (2017): First with Neural Engine, iPhone 8/X

A12 Bionic (2018) – Faster and more efficient

A13 Bionic(2019): Improvement in performance, used for current production iPhones 11 series.

First 5nm chip; A14 Bionic (2020, iPhone 12)

A15 (2021): iPhone 13 and iPhone SE (3rd generation)

A16 Bionic (2022): iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max

Option 1: A17 Pro (2023): First “Pro” chip, with ray tracing for games (iPhone 15 Pro)

This is a key differentiator for Apple, as its chips are integrated at the hardware level with software to provide the kinds of performance benefits, longer battery life gains, and new features like Cinematic Mode in Camera or Live Text via on-device AI.
