Gyroscope in iPhone: an important element of the device
The gyroscope is a key component of Apple smartphones, responsible for the operation of the compass, built-in GPS system and many video games. Any malfunction of this element, even temporary, can significantly complicate the use of the device. The gyroscope is a separate microcircuit located on the board, which is responsible for the orientation of the smartphone in space and instantly responds to changes in the angle of inclination. However, if dropped or moisture gets inside the case, the sensor may fail and require replacement.
What is the difference between an accelerometer and a gyroscope?
The accelerometer or G-sensor allows you to record changes in the iPhone's position relative to its axis, such as rotation or tilt. The gyroscope performs more complex tasks: it not only registers these changes, but also determines the speed of the device's movement. In essence, the gyroscope is an advanced version of the accelerometer.
Signs of a faulty gyroscope
One of the main signs of a breakdown is the lack of auto-rotation of the screen. But before jumping to conclusions, it is important to exclude the possibility of an error. For example, in some applications, such as video players, auto-rotation may be disabled by default. A delay in image rotation of up to 1-2 seconds is also not considered a malfunction. Real signs of a broken gyroscope include:
- lack of screen response to changes in position outside of applications;
- arbitrary change of image orientation;
- Desktop errors or crashes when rotating the device.
If the device has not been subjected to mechanical damage, the problem may be related to a software failure. In such cases, the user can try to solve the problem on their own:
- update firmware or OS;
- roll back the system to factory settings;
- calibrate the sensor;
- remove unnecessary applications or use special programs.
If these measures do not help, or if the gyroscope is mechanically damaged, you should contact a service center to replace the part.
