The new iPhone generation will be unveiled in less than 24 hours, and the rumor mill and leaks keep churning. Now, clues have been discovered about the new coprocessor in the 2019 iPhone series – it's rumored 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 reports, it is known internally by the codename "Rose" – so far it is unclear whether this name is also being used for marketing purposes. Alternatively, it could also officially be called "R13" – in keeping with the A13 chip. A coprocessor hasn't always been part of the heart of an iPhone. With the A7 chip (iPhone 5S), Apple used reinforcement inside an iPhone for the first time. The coprocessor is responsible for things like the compass, the gyroscope, the accelerometer, and more – the power 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. It will be responsible for GPS, Bluetooth 5.1 functions, ultra-wideband (UWB), camera data, and more. Apple plans to further reduce the load on the main processor in the iPhone 11 series. The discovery also confirms rumors that the new iPhone generation will feature 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)
