The lock screen is on track to getting its own cpu, operating system, and app store.
If you think I'm joking, note that the Touch Bar uses a T1 running an iOS variant (ISTR suggestions it's a stripped-down watchOS)
- simonklitj 4y agoI’d welcome it if it meant less battery drain with all the added Lock Screen stuff!
- lukeholder 4y agoAlso if it got an Always On Display like the watch - it would be awesome.

- HappyTypist 4y agoThe T1 runs an iOS variant because Apple understands that if you can re-use security primitives (Secure Encave from IOS), you have less surface area for attacks and you have a more secure product. There is absolutely no need for a separate SoC for the lock screen, when the Apple SoC already features high-efficiency cores.
