It should also be faster than the A10X Fusion chip used in the latest iPad Pros.
Apple’s supposedly impenetrable security chip found inside iOS devices has been penetrated.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation criticized tech companies that took action against white supremacist groups in the wake of deadly clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.
