            The iPhone 7 Has a Faster Processor Apple says the A10 is 40 percent faster than the A9 used in the iPhone 6S and twice as fast as the A8 used in the 6 series. Combining the A10's extra horsepower with new power-conservation features means the iPhone 7 is faster than the iPhone 6S and has better battery life.May 29, 2021
