As you know, the Apple A10X single-chip system contains six processor cores: three energy efficient and three high-performance. Unlike other modern solutions, SoC Apple does not know how to simultaneously use all the cores at once, so at some point in time either the senior cluster or the younger one.

Whether there will be changes in Apple A11 in this matter is not yet known, but the new data indicate that this SoC will also be a six-core. That is, the new iPhone smartphones will be the first in Apple, which will receive a platform with a six-core CPU.

But unlike the A10X, the A11 configuration will be different. It is a question of two high-performance cores Monsoon and four energy-efficient Mistral. About the graphics core there is no data yet.

Also in the iOS 11 GM code found an indication that all new Apple smartphones will be able to shoot 4K video at 60 fps and Full HD at 240 fps. Previously it was believed that this would be the prerogative of only the iPhone X.

In addition, in the OS code there is an indication of the unusual functionality of the power key. For example, by double clicking it will be possible to confirm payment to Apple Pay.
