What are all the supported ios devices that can run on armv7s and arm64. In other words, which market would i be excluding if I did not include armv7 in my build architectures?
I'm curious about armv7s, not armv7. I thought this would be a basic google search but failing to find a clear answer.
I find this as the best source for knowing basic of all iOS devices:
- Original Link: iOS Support Matrix
- PDF version: iOS Support Matrix PDF 4.4
- NOTE: iOS Support Matrix is not updating the image very frequently. For up to date information use official Apple link given in the Reference section.
Other Reference:
- One good simplified iOS device overview with less detail: iOS Device Summary
- Apple Document about this: iOS Device Compatibility Reference
- As usual, Wikipedia has great information on this: iOS version history and List of iOS devices
- If you want to trace beta and final release: iOS version release date history
- An iPhone application for information on every iOS release: History for iOS
- Camera From iPhone to iPhone 6s+: The Evolution of the iPhone Camera
Bonus
- A great article on history of iOS(till iOS 8): iOS: A visual history
One more great summary on history of iOS(till iOS 10): A Brief History of iOS
Special on 10 years of iPhone: An animated history of the iPhone from the CNET vault

Armv7s supported from iPhone 5, 5c, 5S, iPod touch-5, iPad-4, iPad Air. that's nothing but based on processor. Armv7s designed for A6 processor. Supporting from IOS6+. It's also support for 64-bit coding but processing get slow in those devices with armv7s instruction set.
Same as, Arm64 devices are from Iphone 5s, iPad Air. That's related to A7 Processor. Best advantage of these device is 64-bit support. see this wiki document
