Re:How many billions of transistors in your iPhone processor?

The reality is that 70-90% of a CPU is SRAM (cache and registers), and only a small portion is actual logic and even that is replicated across multiple cores. Factor in the extremely redundant gpu on the SoC with its own cores and SRAM along with the I/O controller and those billions of transistors boil down to a tiny amount of actual unique logic circuits. Still very impressive, but helps put things in perspective.
