Is there a document how Apple handles the LLVM byte code on the iOS platform (iPhone and/or iPad) or do they use native code? Thanks a lot.

Thank you! Do you have a link/PDF/paper for more detailed information?
Try this: developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/CompilerTools/… as well as giving references for the architecture it includes the money quote: "In Xcode[…] the LLVM code generation layer (back end) turns that interim format into final machine code."
