The problem of iPhone 5S sensors would be the fault of the supplier

5S iPhone users have been able to see how its accelerometer and gyroscope calibration showed significant failures. Until now it was not known if it was software or hardware problem but one of the latest reports suggests that a change of supplierfor these items is the root of the problem.

A few weeks were detected calibration failures in sensors iPhone 5S motion showing a deviation of between two and six degrees in compass and up to 3 degrees in the gyroscope, charge of measuring the inclination.

The problem is rather worrying failure and until now did not know if I could blame on iOS issues 7 or the iPhone 5S hardware itself, but by not calling into other terminals with the latest software from Apple the tracks were clear.

The blame for failure is who makes the sensors

According to statements of Eagle Jones, CEO of RealityCAP, solutions company specializing in 3D real-time positioning for iOS, the blame for this problem is failure to manufacture components from the new supplier to that. Previously, the Cupertino company hoped STMicroelectronics to manufacture these sensors but for the iPhone 5S Bosch has seized,and it seems the change has been for the better.

Now it seems that although the software is not the problem, yes is the answer. RealityCap say they are working on code for developers of apps, and even Apple itself in its native application can correct the malfunction of the sensors. Now I do not know if what you do is recalculate the data to compensate for the error, which is endemic to the hardware, always be there.

If hardware problem? Launch a program sustutición Apple iPhone 5S?

The question is, therefore, if the hardware is faulty Should Apple release a product replacement program or be satisfied with the solution by the "patch" software? To his credit I must say that the Cupertino, it is proved that a component of their products is wrong, do not shake the pulse to launch a global replacement program as it has done with the iPod nano or the hard drives of their iMacs. The peculiarity is that it has never had to make are their smartphones, would be the first time.
