{{Short description|System-on-chip processors designed by Apple Inc.}}

Apple silicon is a series of system on a chip (SoC) and system in a package (SiP) processors designed by Apple Inc., mainly using the ARM architecture. They are used in nearly all of the company's devices including Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, AirPods, AirTag, HomePod, and Apple Vision Pro.

Apple announced its plan to switch Mac computers from Intel processors to Apple silicon at WWDC 2020 on June 22, 2020.{{Cite press release |title=Apple announces Mac transition to Apple silicon |date=June 22, 2020 |publisher=Apple |url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/06/apple-announces-mac-transition-to-apple-silicon/ |access-date=June 23, 2020 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622185215/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/06/apple-announces-mac-transition-to-apple-silicon/ |archive-date=June 22, 2020 |author=}}{{Cite web |last=Warren |first=Tom |date=June 22, 2020 |title=Apple is switching Macs to its own processors starting later this year |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/22/21295475/apple-mac-processors-arm-silicon-chips-wwdc-2020 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622192505/https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/22/21295475/apple-mac-processors-arm-silicon-chips-wwdc-2020 |archive-date=June 22, 2020 |access-date=June 22, 2020 |website=The Verge}} The first Macs built with the Apple M1 chip were unveiled on November 10, 2020. As of April 2025, the entire Mac lineup uses Apple chips.

Apple fully controls the integration of Apple silicon in the company's hardware and software products. Johny Srouji, the senior vice president for Apple's hardware technologies is in charge of the silicon design.{{Cite news |title=The Most Important Apple Executive You've Never Heard Of |work=Bloomberg News |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-johny-srouji-apple-chief-chipmaker/ |url-status=live |access-date=June 18, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331204421/https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-johny-srouji-apple-chief-chipmaker/ |archive-date=March 31, 2019}} Apple is a fabless manufacturer, production of the chips is outsourced to contract foundries including TSMC and Samsung.

''A'' series SoCs

The A series is a family of SoCs used in the iPhone, certain iPad models (including iPad Mini and entry-level iPad), and the Apple TV. A-series chips were also used in the discontinued iPod Touch line and the original HomePod. They integrate one or more ARM-based processing cores (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), cache memory and other electronics necessary to provide mobile computing functions within a single physical package.{{Cite web |last=Lovejoy |first=Ben |date=July 18, 2016 |title=Apple reportedly dropping Samsung for not only A10 in iPhone 7 but also A11 in iPhone 8 |url=https://9to5mac.com/2016/07/18/iphone-8-a11-tsmc/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200703022057/https://9to5mac.com/2016/07/18/iphone-8-a11-tsmc/ |archive-date=July 3, 2020 |access-date=July 1, 2020 |website=9to5Mac |language=en-US}}{{Chart top|collapsed=yes|Evolution of Apple A series}}

Secure Enclaves

The T series operates as a secure enclave on Intel-based MacBook and iMac computers released from 2016 onwards. The chip processes and encrypts biometric information (Touch ID) and acts as a gatekeeper to the microphone and FaceTime HD camera, protecting them from hacking. The chip runs bridgeOS, a purported variant of watchOS.{{Cite news |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=October 28, 2016 |title=15 hours with the 13" MacBook Pro, and how Apple's T1 bridges ARM and Intel |publisher=Ars Technica |url=https://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/10/15-hours-with-the-13-macbook-pro-and-how-apples-t1-bridges-arm-and-intel/ |url-status=live |access-date=December 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170414072236/https://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/10/15-hours-with-the-13-macbook-pro-and-how-apples-t1-bridges-arm-and-intel/ |archive-date=April 14, 2017}} The functions of the T-series processor were built into the M-series CPUs, thus ending the need for the T series.

Motion Coprocessors

The Apple M-series coprocessors are motion coprocessors used by Apple Inc. in their mobile devices. First released in 2013, their function is to collect sensor data from integrated accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses and offload the collecting and processing of sensor data from the main central processing unit (CPU).

Only the M7 and M8 coprocessors were housed on separate chips; the M9, M10, and M11 coprocessors were embedded in their corresponding A-series chips. Beginning with the A12 Bionic chip in 2018, the motion coprocessors were fully integrated into the SoC. Apple eventually reused the M-series codename for their desktop SoCs.

Miscellaneous devices

This segment is about Apple-designed processors that are not easily sorted into another section.

= Early series =

Apple first used Samsung-developed SoCs in early versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch. They combine in one package a single ARM-based processing core (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), and other electronics necessary for mobile computing.

The APL0098 (also 8900B{{Cite web |date=June 29, 2007 |title=iPhone 1st Generation Teardown |url=https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+1st+Generation+Teardown/599#s3166 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200621190932/https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+1st+Generation+Teardown/599#s3166 |archive-date=June 21, 2020 |access-date=June 19, 2020 |website=iFixit |at=Step 25}} or S5L8900) is a package on package (PoP) system on a chip (SoC) that was introduced on June 29, 2007, at the launch of the original iPhone. It includes a 412 MHz single-core ARM11 CPU and a PowerVR MBX Lite GPU. It was manufactured by Samsung on a 90 nm process. The iPhone 3G and the first-generation iPod Touch also use it.{{Cite web |last=Snell |first=Jason |date=November 25, 2008 |title=That iPod Touch runs at 533 MHz |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/193623/ipod_touch_speed.html |access-date=October 23, 2021 |website=Macworld |archive-date=October 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211022225627/https://www.macworld.com/article/193623/ipod_touch_speed.html |url-status=live }}

It includes a 533 MHz single-core ARM11 CPU and a PowerVR MBX Lite GPU. It was manufactured by Samsung on a 65 nm process.

The APL0298 (also S5L8920) is a PoP SoC introduced on June 8, 2009, at the launch of the iPhone 3GS. It includes a 600 MHz single-core Cortex-A8 CPU and a PowerVR SGX535 GPU. It was manufactured by Samsung on a 65 nm process.

The APL2298 (also S5L8922) is a 45 nm die shrunk version of the iPhone 3GS SoC and was introduced on September 9, 2009, at the launch of the third-generation iPod Touch.

= Other =

The Samsung S5L8747 is an ARM-based microcontroller used in Apple's Lightning Digital AV Adapter, a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter. This is a miniature computer with 256 MB RAM, running an XNU kernel loaded from the connected iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, then taking a serial signal from the iOS device translating that into a proper HDMI signal.{{Cite web |date=March 1, 2013 |title=The Lightning Digital AV adapter surprise |url=https://panic.com/blog/the-lightning-digital-av-adapter-surprise/ |access-date=January 16, 2021 |website=Panic Inc. |language=en-US |archive-date=January 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122180502/https://panic.com/blog/the-lightning-digital-av-adapter-surprise/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=March 2, 2013 |title=User comment: Airplay is not involved in the operation of this adapter. |url=https://panic.com/blog/the-lightning-digital-av-adapter-surprise/#comment-16841 |access-date=January 16, 2021 |website=Panic Inc. |language=en-US |archive-date=January 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122180502/https://panic.com/blog/the-lightning-digital-av-adapter-surprise/#comment-16841 |url-status=live }}
