The new iPhone generation will be introduced in less than 24 hours and the rumor mill and leaks won't stop. Now, clues have been discovered about the new coprocessor in the iPhone 2019 series - it is said to be called "Rose".
According to an internal iOS 13 version, Apple seems to want to replace the motion coprocessor with a new R1 coprocessor – as MacRumors now reported. According to this, it is known internally under the code name "Rose" - so far it is unclear whether the name is also used for marketing purposes. Alternatively, it could also officially be called "R13" - matching the A13 chip. A coprocessor was not always part of the heart of an iPhone. In the A7 chip (iPhone 5S), Apple used reinforcement inside an iPhone for the first time. The coprocessor is responsible for the compass, the gyroscope, the acceleration sensor and more - the energy consumption during measurement is low, which is why it works efficiently and relieves the load on the main processor.
“Rose” gets more tasks
According to MacRumors, the new coprocessor "Rose" will take on additional tasks. Among other things, it will be responsible for GPS, Bluetooth 5.1 functions, ultra-wideband (UWB), camera data and more. Apple plans to use this to further reduce the load on the main processor of the iPhone 11 series. The discovery also confirms rumors that the new iPhone generation will have ultra-wideband (UWB).
One reason for this has already been discovered – Apple may be planning to release a competing product to Tile that relies on UWB – read more here. However, it is not yet known when the new gadget will be presented - perhaps it will be tomorrow. We will show you how you can follow the Apple event here. (Photo by Rost-9 / Bigstockphoto)
