This is interesting, though don't see how it would help with height/altitude.
Given the variability of air pressure relative to weather conditions, it would hardly be accurate. Even planes used to have to zero their altimeter relative to prevailing conditions before they get a good or accurate fix. Modern ones probably do better now. And after all that, Siri can work that out with GPS, too. RobH. Disappointed, Siri gave me a lecture on what altitude was, and didn't tell me my position at all. Yet I have been, when using 6.1.4 or whatever that was. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Kleinhans" <jhkleinh...@telkomsa.net> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2014 4:32 AM Subject: Curious about the barometer in iPhone 6? Hi Has anybody that owns a iPhone 6 or 6+ looked at the barometer function of the phone? I am curious as to whether it can be used by users using voice over? I read somewhere that it is used mainly for elevation, but I am interested in the weather functions of the barometer, meaning can one get a reading in inches or milibars like a normal barometer used in weather stations?
