Quoting from the latest OpenGL ES doc on the OpenGL ES developer page
The PowerVR SGX is the graphics processor in Apple’s newest iPhones and is
designed for OpenGL ES 2.0. The graphics driver for the PowerVR SGX also
implements OpenGL ES 1.1 by efficiently implementing the fixed-function
pipeline using shaders. More information about PowerVR technologies can be
found in the PowerVR Technology Overview. Detailed information about the
PowerVR SGX can be found in the POWERVR SGX OpenGL ES 2.0 Application
Development Recommendations.
