What is the name of antenna and connector in the image

Question

Below is the image of a GPS module. I have highlighted the antenna in the yellow box:

What is the name of the antenna in the yellow box (Question 1) ? Is the type of this antenna APM 2.5 (Question 2) ? What does APM stands for in APM 2.5 (Question 3) ?

Is the connector of the antenna IPX? There are different sizes of IPX, what are they ? Is IPX connector also known as UFL (Question 4)?

I would appreciate answers to any/some/ all of above related questions.

Informally everyone calls these U.FL which is actually the Hirose part number. But if you call it something else, nobody understands what you refer to. — Lundin, Aug 19 '20 at 13:42
They don’t seem to indicate on the datasheet for some reason.? — Tony Stewart EE75, Aug 19 '20 at 13:42

This antenna type is called ceramic patch antenna.
If you google APM 2.5, you will find that it stands for ArduPilot Mega 2.5, which is a drone autopilot system, for which this GPS-receiver board (designator GY-GPS6MV2 on the PCB) is probably designed.
Yes, it is a U.FL connector, which is like you said also known as IPX (see this question: Difference between Hirose U.FL and IPEX connectors)
