iPhone Application Development – iPhone Accelerometer

Have you ever thought how the iphone displays the websites and the games you are playing on iPhone in portrait as well as landscape mode?

Here are points that would answer your query:-

1. A built in accelerometer responds to the major motions of the iPhone.

2. When you rotate your iPhone from Portrait mode to Landscape mode, the accelerometer detects the movement and changes the display accordingly.

3. So you can view a web page in portrait as well as landscape mode.

4. There are three elements that are used by accelerometer silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current.

5. The rotating iPhone causes the fluctuation which causes the electrical current to flow across the silicon spring.

6. The accelerometer registers these fluctuations and tell iPhone to adjust the display settings accordingly.
