In about 10 years, Apple has multiplied by 19 the variety of transistors in its cellular processors. It corresponds roughly to a gradual fee of enchancment of 34% per 12 months on the variety of transistors, or a doubling each 2.5 years. In actual {dollars}, an iPhone has roughly a relentless value: the price tag of a new iPhone increases every year, but it does so while tracking the inflation. Thus you’re getting ever extra transistors in your iPhone for a similar value.
