The iPhone 5S Compass application incorrectly displays orientation information, it could be a major problem

  If so far no important problem of the new terminal has been discussed iPhone 5S, well, from today onwards we will have a topic of discussion, because the terminal compass displays erroneously orientation information. More precisely, in the application Compass from iOS 7 users will not see accurate information regarding their orientation in space, and the image above demonstrates this as clearly as possible. The information provided by iPhone 5S and the Compass application were compared to those offered by a compass watch and an airplane compass, and the Apple terminal came out at a disadvantage.

Lined up against my apple box separating my iphone 4 and iphone 5s pointing directly south, here are the readings. Have you tested this? I have contacted apple support and they suggested replacing the phone. At this point, I'm going to wait it out as I can live with this defect until I know the problem has been fixed. In the other thread that got closed, one user reported testing multiple iPhone 5s at the store that had this exact same problem.

  Although the terminal iPhone 4 provides accurate information regarding orientation in space, iPhone 5S it does not have this capacity and a test done in one Apple Store demonstrated that multiple terminals have exactly the same problem. Although the Compass app isn't that important to many, compass information is used in navigation apps, including Apple Maps or Google Maps. Considering the problems in correctly displaying the orientation of users, these applications could misdirect people in the case of accessing the turn-by-turn navigation functions, and only then will Apple have a real problem.
