- Snippet from Wikipedia: Apple A8
The Apple A8 is a 64-bit ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc., part of the Apple silicon series. It first appeared in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014. Apple states that it has 25% more CPU performance and 50% more graphics performance while drawing only 50% of the power of its predecessor, the Apple A7.
The latest software update for the iPhone 6 & 6 Plus and iPod Touch (6th generation) is iOS 12.5.8, as they were discontinued with the release of iOS 13 in 2019. The latest update for the iPad Mini 4 is iPadOS 15.8.6, as it was discontinued with the release of iPadOS 16 in 2022. As the Apple TV HD and HomePod (1st generation) are still supported with tvOS and audioOS updates respectively, the Apple A8 is the oldest supported Apple SoC. The Apple A8 chip was discontinued on October 18, 2022, following the discontinuation of the Apple TV HD.
