Apple Silicon
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 the basis of
most new Mac computers as well as all iPhone, iPad, Apple
TV, and Apple Watch devices and of products such as AirPods,
AirTag and HomePod.
