The iPads and iPhones have always had versions of the "Apple Silicon" CPU. It's an ARM based CPU and always has been. As new iPhones have been released, Apple has taken advantage of better manufacturing and design to reduce the die size, increase the capabilities and reduce the power consumption. The CPU is significantly better in the latest version of iPads and iPhones but the CPU lineage goes back to the original iPhone. The iPhones and iPads have never had Intel based chips in.
It's actually more a case of the latest Apple Macbooks, Mini's and iMacs becoming more phone like. Apple does a very good job of using the Xcode compilers to generate the right code for iPhone, iPad, Intel based Mac and M series based Mac at the right time. These are called Universal apps. Amplitube on the Mac is a Univeral App, it's stated as such in System Settings so it works on Intel and M series.
Apple also use Rosetta on the M series Mac's to allow Intel based code (non-Universal) to work on M based devices. Rosetta is very, very good and most of the time, you can run Intel based applications on M series Apple devices and you never know there is a code conversion running the first time you run the application.
Hope this helps

The iPhone went from 30 pin connector to Lightning and will eventually go to USB-C (at least if the EU have their way), headphone sockets have gone from iPhones, 
I first thought "Oh noooo! It will have blocked my Amplitube!"
Sorry, I did not specify that my IPad Pro is not equipped with a new AppelSilicon chip...
