I've been wondering how the SoC architectures in iPhones have evolved from the early models to the latest ones. Specifically, what major changes have occurred in the CPU, GPU, and memory controller, and how have these modifications impacted graphics performance and power consumption? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
How has the architecture of SoCs evolved across older iPhone models?

When I upgraded from my iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 12 Pro, I saw a massive leap in performance: the single-core 600 MHz A4-series CPU was replaced by the A14 Bionic’s 6-core 2.5 GHz CPU, the GPU went from Apple’s basic GPU to a 4-core high-performance graphics chip, and the memory controller upgraded from DDR2 to DDR4. The result? Nearly double the graphics rendering speed and better battery life.
