iPhone 6 – how useful will a barometer be?

iPhone 6 barometer - iDevice.ro

  Ilast evening I told you that in the source code of iOS 8 entries have been discovered that suggest that iPhone 6 going to include a barometer which will measures altitude and atmospheric pressure around us. Presented as useful for those who go hiking, BAROMETER it can work with various iOS apps to present this information, but how useful is it?

  terminals Android they have had barometers available for several years and until now no one has praised them in any way nor has any great utility been discovered for them. Considering their not-so-glorious past, you're probably wondering how useful one will be barometer in an iPhone 6 from which users expect better autonomy and not an extra chip.

  Well, for now no one knows how useful this will be barometer, but what we know is that any technology implements Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, whether it is new or old, developers and fans of iDevices know how to highlight it. Moreover, Apple knows how to implement technologies in such a way that they are useful and convince us to use them, fingerprint reading or Siri being the best examples.

  Even if now I don't find the barometer to be that useful, I think that Apple will find ways to convince us that it is worth using in one way or another.

  1. Iwatch, that's why they made so many changes in ios 8, to be easier to use with the watch, and as much information as possible, barometer, pulse, health, voice messages in imessage, all for it.

  2. I think you will have a connection with the Health App, we all know that Cardiacs are affected by changes in atmospheric pressure, and probably the App will follow this aspect in order to offer Recommendations

  3. Correct, for those who know what they are doing, it is very good. Unfortunately, many people think unidirectionally. If it is not useful for me, then it is not useful for anyone.

    For me it is an extremely useful function. I go to the mountains at least once a week in very remote areas without GSM signal and in any season. Such a function can save your life. On the mountain, weather conditions can change at any minute. If you know how to read the humidity sensor and the barometer that almost all android phones have, you can predict a possible storm. At that moment you know what you have to do depending on the area where you are. I set the application to give me an alarm when the pressure drops below certain values, after which I start monitoring the evolution.
    To be honest, for me the barometer and the humidity sensor are, among others, some functions that led me to give up the iPhone after 6 years.

    It's a pity that people find out how to use certain functions only when they are presented by Apple with trumpets and trumpets, although they have been available for a long time.
