From the Compare page http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/, it looks like the "iPad Air 2" is the first iPad to carry a barometer as an additional sensor. I missed the keynote, did they discuss this? Doesn't seem as usable as a step-counter since it's in a tablet, how does Apple intend to use the barometer for this tablet?
Also, is there a single Technical Specifications page for the iPad Air 2? I can't find a list of sensors in the device, outside of the linked Compare page.
Edit: Here's the full specs page: http://www.apple.com/ipad-air-2/specs/ http://www.apple.com/ipad-air-2/specs/
- snom380 12y agoMy guess is for location services to provide better altitude accuracy than with GPS alone. That can be used to figure out if your on or below an overpass, if your on the second floor of some building etc and take elevation into account when exercising. Personally I'll certainly use it as I'm a private pilot :)
- ja27 12y agoThey mentioned the barometer but only briefly.
- shurcooL 12y agoDid the iPhone 6 get a barometer sensor too?
