If you can believe it, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas when it first released for the PlayStation 2, ran with just a 300Mhz CPU (the speed of the PS2). Despite the iPhones being way more powerful than that ancient console, note that the supported devices start with the iPhone 4s and end with the iPhone 5s.
