Expected to arrive this year, the iPhone-6 could come equipped with its own barometer to automatically detect the temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
And not just air pressure, in an effort to attract fitness freaks, the new iPhone-6 will also check your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels.
The addition of more sensors to the iPhone 6 seems a natural progression as reports claim that Apple has been aggressively hiring individuals in the area of health sensors since last year.
Other than the new improved weather feature, the iPhone 6 will reportedly feature a faster A8 processor with quad-core graphics, a sharper 10 megapixel camera and two larger screen size options (4.7 and 5.5 inches).
These new features in the iPhone will give good competition to Samsung Galaxy S4 which currently features similar sensors as part of its S-Health app. While the new Galaxy S5 is also working on adding a heart rate monitor to become a more formidable fitness device.
Currently iPhone-5 uses an inbuilt weather app by Yahoo, which does not offer anything more than the high and the low of the day in the particular city. Experts say, the weekly forecast for a particular city isn't very accurate at the moment.
“Weather in India is increasingly becoming a topic of interest among people. With this new weather feature, lot many people, especially all the iPhone and technology lovers will become weather-wise, our motto, right from the very beginning”, says Manav Singh Gahlaut, Chief of Multimedia at Skymet Weather.
