iPhone 8/Plus What happed with apple's m coprocessor ?

It's been embedded in the main SoC since A9.
Apple doesn't talk about it anymore because it's no longer a new feature. Just as they don't need to mention there's an integrated memory controller or storage controller. The motion co-processor simply handles inputs from the barometer, accelerometer, and gyro.

Just as JPack pointed out - it’s no longer a discreet coprocessor, but has been integrated into the SoC. Apple has since introduced new fancy terms and names to use in their marketing - things like ‘bionic’ - to woo the masses.
It has been discreetly integrated into the SoC, which means it's no longer a discrete component.
Sorry, that was too hard to resist.
