Please use the weather App which has measure of Atmospheric Pressure in each area (Unit: hPa)


The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa; 1,013.25 mbar), equivalent to 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.


You may also use third party apps for Sensing pressure. But since I haven't used any, so would not be able to authenticate the correctness / accuracy of the reading given by the third party apps.


Sensors used in iPhone 6 and above

  • Face ID (Touch ID on iPhone 8 or earlier)
  • Barometer (Added in iPhone 6 and above)
  • Three‑axis gyro
  • Accelerometer
  • Proximity sensor
  • Ambient light sensor
