iPhone Like previous phones from the company, the 5s includes Apple several sensors that can record the tilt, movement, direction of movement and position of the device. Server Gizmodo however, he points out in his article that these sensors cannot be trusted too much and the problems with their calibration are such that they affect not only Compass-type applications, but also accelerometer-controlled games. Even after repeated calibration, the compass cannot show the correct direction and differs by 8-10 degrees from reality, while the accelerometer shows an error of about 2 degrees.
Pro To demonstrate the problems, Gizmodo created a pair of animated GIF images, which clearly show what the error is and how it affects, for example, playing Real Racing 3. Due to the size of the GIF animations, we decided not to include them directly in the article, but readers can open them by clicking on the files below. Apple Moreover, he may have a more serious problem than it might seem, because iPhone 5 years iPhone 4S /iPhone 4 with the same version iOS, That is iOS 7.0.2 does not have the same problem as iPhone 5s with this version iOS.
So it's possible that the company won't be able to update the phone's firmware, but the fault could be in the sensors themselves. On the other hand, the problem seems to be fairly consistent across all iPhone 5s and the difference is almost the same for all phones, which would mean that even if the fault was in the sensors themselves, it is the same in all of them and Apple in short, it can recalculate the data from the sensors with the help of an update so that the measured data is displayed correctly. Customers are also complaining about the problem on the company's website Apple in the official forums, as well as on a number of discussion forums in the US.

Yes, I confirm that there is a slight error there. See my photo:

And can't it be calibrated?
Simply the one Apple surprises more and more. ;)
How could they miss this???
mirmo80: well, it will happen, but it's a serious mistake, and it will be really bad with a HW problem, because then he would have to Apple after acknowledging the problem, replace it with new parts, which probably wouldn't please them. On the other hand, they could sell refurbished IP5S with defective sensors for $100 cheaper, that would please me again... :)
Where did the quality and provenness of the final product go?
If it can be fixed with an update, it shouldn't be a problem :-/

– I'm not going to criticize anymore because some people always beat themselves in the chest because apple it's perfect, although it hasn't been like that for a long time
premium price for a ton of mistakes…
I don't know about you, but I would probably never think of using it iphone instead of a spirit level, I somehow don't understand people who solve this at all, yes it is a problem, but I probably wouldn't return the phone because of it
seki:
The spirit level showed what the deviation was. iphone 5s
Moreover, this is not such a serious bug, it should be fixed soon, previous generations had worse problems..
In such a perfect and complicated product, a bug creeps in, there was already a bug twice due to the stubbornness of the designers.. With the S2, you can still find bugs that have not been fixed
to Cermb0:
Well, the S4 may be nice, but the software is at the level of beta 3. iOS
Well, I don't know, I didn't update, I have an iPhone 4S and my girlfriend does too, and when I turn it on google maps and they have a compass and I want to go through the forest in one direction, so I can walk back and forth every 10 meters because my map keeps rotating 90 to 180 degrees. It's annoying and I don't know what to do about it. Can anyone give me some advice?
