The advantage of this sensor is that it prevents the unnecessary or unintentional button clicks by the touch of your face while you are talking.

This sensor enables the iPhone to automatically change its orientation from landscape to portrait or vice-versa to give the best experience while working. In many apps, this sensor helps in checking whether the iPhone is moving or it still at one place. Hence, this feature is also referred to as Motion Sensor.

The accelerometer can measure the distance traveled by you while running or walking. When this feature is combined with the GPS then it accurately captures your movements.

It can also appear as a red dot inside the headphone jack. If you are buying a used iPhone, its a good idea to check for this indicator to make sure that the device has not been damaged by water.

5) Gyroscope:

The iPhone contains a 3-axis gyroscope in it. A gyroscope is a device which is used to closely measure and maintain the  orientation of the device, and is based on angular momentum.
