Android OEM introduces smartphone that can weigh stuff
the feature is called "force touch" and apparently you can weigh stuff using your phone now
Quote:
The idea of weighing something with your smartphone used to be the stuff of joke apps and broken screens, but Huawei has proved it's possible. On stage at IFA in Berlin, the company used the pressure-sensitive Force Touch technology in its new Mate S smartphone to weigh an orange. It might sound slightly surreal (and it was), but the demonstration got by far the biggest cheer of the event from the crowd. Perhaps in part because Huawei might have just stolen a march on Apple, which introduced Force Touch on the Apple Watch and is rumored to be incorporating it into the next iPhone. Huawei didn't weigh any apples on stage though.
they heralded it as a first and the feature will be available in the apple iphone 6s
Pretty sure Apple is going to be announcing this in their iPhone 6S range and is already implemented in the iWatch, but innovate, pave the way etc. I guess.
Edit: oop the OP already says this. Well I mean it's a "feature", but much like Siri - pretty much useless.
