The "Apple A5" SoC still uses ARM Cortex-A9 cores like nearly every other mobile SoC. Only one that doesn't is Qualcomm's Snapdragon, which uses their custom (but still based on ARMv7 like the Cortex chips) "Scorpion" design, soon to be succeeded by "Krait". They're still ARM though, the difference isn't near as drastic as PPC v. Intel; it's closer to Intel v. AMD.
