iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have two accelerometers

  Although this was not discovered in the initial disassembly, upon a careful analysis of the basic placilot ale iPhone 6 si 6 iPhone Plus it was discovered that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), implemented two accelerometers for terminals. Each of them works in tandem with the other, the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), choosing to use a three-axis accelerometer Bosch BMA280, but also one six-axis accelerometer called MPU-6700 and produced by InvenSense.

The InvenSense device can operate as a six-axis inertial sensor, or as either a three-axis gyroscope or a three-axis accelerometer. It is rated to consume 3.4 mA in the six-axis mode, 3.2 mA in the gyroscope mode and 450 µA in the accelerometer normal mode. By contrast, the Bosch device operates as a 3-axis accelerometer only and it consumes 130 µA of current in the accelerometer normal mode. Both devices offer two low power levels of operation for the accelerometer function.

  Although it is not officially known why the Apple company implemented two accelerometers in iPhone 6 si 6 iPhone Plus, those from Chipwors, who they discovered everything, I argue that the choice is based on reducing energy consumption and improving the experience of using the terminals. The InvenSense chip can work as a six-axis inertial sensor, a three-axis gyroscope or a three-axis accelerometer, consuming more energy than the Bosch chip.

The main benefit of the InvenSense is full six-axis integration of the data by the on-chip digital motion processor (DMP). This will provide a direct benefit for gaming and other applications that need sophisticated inertial sensing capabilities. In addition, the InvenSense provides significantly higher sensitivity than the Bosch device. The price, however, is higher power consumption.

  If you are wondering how these accelerometers can improve the user experience iPhone 6 si 6 iPhone Plus, well they are useful for games or any kind of applications that can be controlled using terminal movements. Unlike the chips in the old terminals, these allow a much finer control of movements, so in the end you will no longer have to turn your terminals backwards to accelerate a car, etc.
