It might be possible to use iPhone as scanner with RTL-SDR dongle. I don't know if there is any scanner software for the iPhone, most of it is PC software.

- djmips 1y agoAnything is possible with accesories but that breaks the thesis.
- jacquesm 1y agoFor the moment, yes. But in practice, this years dongles are next years built-ins. The same was the case with GPS, accelerometers, temp and humidity sensors, blood oxygen sensors, incident light detection, finger print reading, cameras and so on. Phones absorb sensors like toddlers consume cookies, they can't get enough of them.
- djmips 1y agoI want to those things. Tricorder please.
- jacquesm 1y agoIt will happen. The bigger obstacle is to make sensors cheaper. But MEMS has opened many doors already and I think microfluidics and various gas sensors (think chromatograph in your pocket) will be the next frontier.
- emchammer 1y agoI wish that Apple would match all these sensor features on their laptops as well.
- Jolter 1y agoI’d like to have a thermometer in my iPhone, for ambient temp, but most of all I am waiting for IR photography and the the inevitable calibrated fever thermometer app.
- zymhan 1y agoI'll bet $20 you can find a combination thermometer cellphone on aliexpress.
- Jolter 1y agoOh, I found one already! I don’t want an Aliexpress phone, though.
- fredoralive 1y agoThe promo image for the next Apple event looks kinda like IR false colour to me, so maybe you’ll get your wish?
- Terr_ 1y agoI have this absurd vision of someone sticking their smartphone edge-on into a slab of beef as a meat thermometer.
