Now, AnandTech reports that, through unnamed sources, microchip A6 in iPhone 5-en, which is using an architecture inspired by the ARM, in fact it was designed by Apple itself. Earlier, the processors in older versions of the iPhone-it had used design licensed from ARM, Cortex A9 used in the A5 processor.
