Iphone 13 compass does not display altitude.

Why doesn't the iPhone 13 compass show the altitude?

Recently, many iPhone 13 users reported that their compasses could not display the altitude, which caused some users' confusion. Then, why doesn't the iPhone 13 compass show the altitude? Let's answer them one by one.

IPhone 13 has no barometer.

The first thing to note is that iPhone 13 does not have a built-in barometer. Barometer is one of the important sensors for measuring height. Therefore, if your iPhone 13 doesn't have a barometer, it can't measure the altitude.

IPhone 13 uses GPS to measure altitude.

Although iPhone 13 has no built-in barometer, it can still use GPS to measure altitude. GPS can determine your position through satellite positioning and calculate your height. However, GPS is not a very accurate measurement method because it is affected by weather, terrain and other factors.

The compass of iPhone 13 only shows the direction.

Finally, it should be noted that the compass of iPhone 13 can only display the direction, but cannot measure the height. Therefore, if you want to measure the height, you need to use other applications, such as the altimeter application.

If your iPhone 13 compass can't display the altitude, it may be because it doesn't have a built-in barometer, or because you don't use the correct application to measure the altitude. If you need to measure the height, please use a special altimeter application.
