Hi
Thanks for this. It is interesting indeed. I read the altitude thing in a
review of the iPhone 6 on the gsm arena website, and also did not quite get
it how that would help, so that's why I was wondering if the barometer was
usable for it real function via voice over?
Thanks all the same.
Jan

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.

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?
Regards
