In the face A7 for iPhone 5S the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), implemented a motion co-processor called M7, being able to monitor all our movements without using special accessories. For the face A8 the Apple company would prepare iPhone 6 Phosphorus (M8), i.e. the follower of the motion co-processor M7 which could receive the name M8 and could provide all kinds of biometric, or movement, information for the system HealthKit available in iOS 8.
information comes from an Asian source, who published the above sketch during these days, detailing the implementation of this image for iPhone 6 whose internal code is for now Phosphorus. Being a co-processor, it will take over all the functions of the chip M7, but could retrieve biometric information regarding: pulse, number of calories burned in a day, blood cholesterol level, blood glucose level, etc.
In application iOS 8Health these data can be entered manually, or they can be taken from various accessories, and the new face Phosphorusor M8, could be used to retrieve and process this data. Considering the huge potential of the Health application, the implementation of such a co-processor is as logical as possible, but it remains to be seen if the functionality will be so complex in the end.
