Can you make an iPhone out of an AVR? No. Can you enrol a surprising quantity of functionality out of a humble 8 pungency processor and a garish feel LCD? Yes. The iPhone runs additional than 30 times faster (417Mhz ARM vs 12Mhz AVR) and has additional than 30,000 times as much ram RAM (128M vs 4k) yet this frumpy inadequate token can monkey some of the iPhones neater tricks.
