Apple is Working on Three New Macs With Custom Co-processors [Report]

Apple is working on at least three updated Mac models with custom co-processors, according to a report from Bloomberg.

First introduced on the MacBook Pro, Apple's T1 co-processor runs the Touch ID sensor, operates as a secure enclave for the processing and encryption of fingerprints, and acts as a gatekeeper to the microphone and FaceTime camera.

The new iMac Pro has a T2 co-processor which is a secure enclave for encrypted keys, handles system functions like the camera and audio control, manages the SSD, lets users lock down the boot process, and delivers 'enhanced imaging processing' for the FaceTime camera.[W]
