Barometer, which is already included on some Android devices like the Galaxy Nexus could be used by hikers and mountaineers to measure the altitude or even indicate the temperature and other meteorological characteristics via the pressure data of air.
Information on the new sensor from Xcode 6 , the last iPhone SDK and iOS 8. If references to the ability to measure the altitude from the CoreMotion API, they connote the need for new hardware apple bitten by developers.
Current applications are in the ability to measure altitude using GPS and motion tracking data to determine a measure that is less accurate and slower than a barometer. While monitoring the altitude will be the main feature of the barometer, it is also possible to determine the time to come by analyzing the air pressure, which could allow the sensor to be used by drivers and cyclists .
With iOS 8 , it is also possible that the sensor is integrated into the latest iPads and iWatch and the iPhone 6.
Apple has already shown some interest in the development of sensory applications of its devices, including after the Cupertino company has added a gyroscope to the iPhone in 2010, despite earlier rumors that a new humidity sensor will also be part of the next version of the iPhone.
