He’s found that the pairing procedure has had its security greatly improved, with a crypto coprocessor chip added into the equation – the usual OTA way of firmware mods is, indeed, closed off.

Graphics processing is performed by a collection of eight GPU cores, the highest number offered on an A-series chip. It also has an embedded M12 coprocessor, used to collect and process sensor data.
