On the schematic representation of iPhone 6 , published today in the media, not captured coprocessor movements «Phosphorus» M8, and the sensor, which allows real-time measurement of the pressure of the surrounding air. This statement was made by the observers MacRumors, citing its own sources.
"Depicted in the diagram chip has room BMP282. 99.99% sure that this is a barometric pressure sensor company Bosch, has much in common with the model BMP280. Probably commissioned by Apple came out with a special version of the sensor measuring range alternative. This may explain the new model part number. "
Sources have repeatedly reported that Apple will add to the iPhone 6 more sensors for user interaction with the environment, making the smartphone in almost multimeter. In iPhone 5s the company built in fingerprint scanner button Home.
Barometer of the iPhone 6 will be able to measure the atmospheric pressure at the current location of the owner of the gadget and determine the height above sea level. This feature is particularly useful when the user moves along an inclined plane, whether it is a hill or a mountain, because the barometer helps depending on the atmospheric pressure and height to calculate the exact number of calories burned while walking.
In addition to the barometer in the iPhone 6 will temperature sensors and humidity. This information will be provided to you in real time, thanks to the coprocessor M8, the presence of which is expected in the new generation of smart phones Apple.
