iPhone: M7 motion coprocessor - what is it?
The "M7 Motion Coprocessor" was installed in the new iPhone 5s. We show you the functions of the coprocessor.
What is the M7 motion coprocessor?
Basically, the function of the "M7 Motion Coprocessor" is already in the title. The English word "motion" means movement. The M7 is therefore a coprocessor that works next to the actual processor and records the movements of the iPhone. This includes the motion sensor, compass and gyroscope.
What is the benefit of the M7 for your iPhone?
Since the M7 coprocessor takes over the evaluation of the movement data, the main processor is relieved and the battery is saved. The battery of your iPhone 5s should be protected even further with the "M7 Motion Coprocessor". This constantly measures the position and type of movements of your iPhone. This is to determine whether you are currently on foot or by car. If the iPhone detects that you are driving, the automatic search for WLAN networks is set to save battery.
The M7 motion coprocessor in conjunction with apps
The new coprocessor is also to be used for apps. Mainly fitness apps like Pedometer ++ use the new function to display more precise data about your movement. The M7 saves this data automatically. If you use such apps, you do not use an additional battery, but only read the data that is already saved from the chip. The motion coprocessor is also to be used in Apple's navigation app to automatically switch from car to pedestrian navigation.
