Sensor clusters makes sense and exist - yes.

Can confirm. At my last job, we sent vehicle sensor data via Bluetooth to phone displays for testing. On motorcycles and go-karts, Iphones in direct sunlight were unreadable and overheated to shut-down point fairly quickly. Our $99 Samsungs, however, were more easily visible and never shut down on us.

Just proves that “expensive” alone is not equivalent to superior quality. Apple products are good quality, but this is their Achilles heel.

First...iPhones have changed over the last couple of years. Second, I don't know what your test showed, but as long as I'm not wearing polarized sunglasses, I can read my iphone just fine and I'll wager that I've ridden more miles in high sun with my iphone mounted on my handle bar than just about anyone in this forum. One heat shut down in 50,000 miles of regular use isn't too bad...but in fairness, the one heat shut down was on my iPhone X and I've probably only had that for 25,000 miles.

I may sound like a shill for Apple. I'm not. I couldn't care less what smartphone anyone uses. I think it's not quite fair, though, to those seeking information here if alternative opinions are not presented.

Ironically, I think we need a compass to get this thread back on course. LOL

I would be interested in anything that gave me instant and accurate temperature and barometric pressure even though I can set the alert on one of my weather apps to pop up on my iPhone while I'm riding.
