Apple plans to use the new M7 chip to improve iOS's location services

  I told you about the new M7 chip from Apple, the co-processor having the role of freeing the processor from various tasks related to monitoring sensors in iDevices, but its functionality would be much more complex. We know that this face M7 it takes data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, but though Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), explained that everything is done with the idea of ​​improving battery autonomy and performance iPhone 5S, the company has he has other plans. Based on this face, the application Apple Maps it knows if we drive a car, stop, park and continue to use its navigation functions while walking (automatically changing the direction system), indicating to the terminal not to ask us to connect to Wi-Fi networks when driving, blocking the checks of telephone towers when the user stays in one place for a long time and probably sleeps

M7 knows when you're walking, running, or even driving. For example, Maps switches from driving to walking turn-by-turn navigation if, say, you park and continue on foot. Since M7 can tell when you're in a moving vehicle, iPhone 5s won't ask you to join Wi-Fi networks you pass by. And if your phone hasn't moved for a while, like when you're asleep, M7 reduces network pinging to save your battery.

  Moreover, the M7 chip would check when we park our car, it would memorize its location, and when we return to the space in the vicinity of the parking lot, the Apple Maps application would help us quickly find the car . Apple intends to use a similar system to offer a system of maps of the interior of buildings, giving us the opportunity to navigate inside them, the iPhone sensors guiding us through the location. Unfortunately, all these novelties related to the interior maps will only appear in iOS 8, so for now we only stay with what we told you about this system.
