iPhone 32- or 64-bit CPU: Which processor do you have

The processor is the computing center of your iPhone. The bit count is used to indicate the performance of this computing center. Previously, 32-bit processors were installed in all iPhones until Apple switched to 64-bit in April 2017. You can use an app to see which processor is in your iPhone.

32- and 64-bit processors in iPhones

Until 2017, only 32-bit processors were installed in iPhones. Then in April 2017, Apple announced that future iPhones would only be equipped with 64-bit processors. This means that all iPhones after the 5s received the more powerful processors. If you're not sure, you can use a free app to find out which processor was installed in your iPhone. The switch from 32 to 64 bit also meant that many apps can no longer be used on older iPhones. Updates can also no longer be installed. Starting with iOS 11, all changes are only designed for 64-bit CPUs.
