Not anymore. In a nutshell:. Carry your mobile device in your hand, which will ensure that your motion is captured. If you carry your device in a pocket or armband, your motion may not be fully captured. If you place your device in the treadmill tray or cupholder, your motion will not be captured. No sensors required.
So, it seems that, for now at least, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users must carry their now larger iPhones in their hands while running inside on a treadmill if they want accuracy. Otherwise, an iPhone armband, which many runners find to be even more irksome than holding the iPhone in their hands, will have to do. It leaves users with a significant gap in functionality that they are forced to weather. Apple Watch is rumored to have slipped a bit from its originally intended release.
That would have made things a bit more palatable for treadmill runners who have now been left without an option other than carry their iPhones in their hands in order to get an accurate measure of their activity while running indoors. It sounds like a Nike problem. The season is not Bluetooth but I totally blame Nike. I guess time to move away from Nike. There are many other devices now we can use.
I have a Bluetooth GPS and it has a little switch on the side. I run daily with the nike sensor outdoors too. Time Cook sits on nikes board of directors, and in an interview said that nike is working with Apple closely to integrate the new nike app into iOS 8 and health kit. I run with my 5 s every day on the road and it does not bother me in the least.
Big deal. If I remember right.. Would have to go back quite a few months. This was a Nike decision, not Apple. Looks like Nike will focus on the Fuel app, and drop everything else. This is Nike moving to be more closely integrated with iOS rather than producing its own sensor hardware. The app is much cheaper and simpler than the technology Nike used before -- a sports kit that included a small accelerometer attached or embedded in a shoe.
The whole package could set you back a fair amount. Nike is pretty late to the running-app party, though.
You can also get RunKeeper for free if you're willing to sacrifice some functionality. RunKeeper offers an app for Android too, unlike Nike. Let us know in the comments section which app you'd go for, or if you'd rather just sit on the sofa and eat pizzas. Do so before trying to use the device and making it look worn.
Provided the device is in its original condition and you have the receipt, an exchange should be possible.
