L'intégration d'accéléromètres permet de faire basculer les écrans du sens «portrait» au sens «paysage», et inversement. Ces dispositifs autorisent bien d'autres applications. Ainsi, lorsque l'iPhone affiche une liste de restaurants, l'ordre se modifie si l'on secoue l'appareil; les accéléromètres permettent aussi d'empêcher une prise de vue en faible lumière si l'appareil n'est pas immobile. 2, record 3, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rom%C3%A8tre
