Each year as Apple unveils new iPhones, it releases a new Apple A processor which powers the device as well as allows specific features to work. Apple's been buying up chip companies as well as spearheading its own development on SoC's (Systems on a Chip).
The secret weapon of the iPhone (as well as the iPad) is really the complex yet insanely powerful architecture of the A12 Bionic chip, which works seamlessly with iOS to continuously keep iPhones performing above the level of most Android flagships which may have larger processors and more RAM.
The Apple A12 Bionic's spec sheet is impressive. A smaller sized chip contains both processing and graphics channels while setting aside ample space for the Neural Engine which powers A.I. and much of the iPhone's photographic power.
