 '''Ax''' is a family of high-performance {{arch|32}} and {{arch|64}} [[ARM]] system on chips designed by [[Apple]] exclusively for their consumer products.
-== Overview ==
-Since the introduction of the original iPhone in [[2007]], Apple has been developing a series of chips designed exclusively for their own consumer products. Those system on chips are found in all iPhones, iPod Touches, iPads, Apple TVs, and Apple Watches. While initial models used [[IP cores]] licensed from [[ARM Holdings]], since the introduction of the {{\|A6}} in 2012, Apple has been developing their own [[microarchitecture]] for their chips which have become considerably more powerful than other [[ARM]]-based [[microprocessors]].
