Is there any reason to get the Nike + sensor if I have an iPhone?
I recently purchased a pair of Nike running shoes that have a spot for the Nike + sensor and I've always just used the Nike running app on my iPhone when I run so is there anything the sensor could do that the app couldn't? I figured probably better tracking of elevation (I run in a really hilly area), but other than that I wasn't sure if it was worth looking into.
If you get the sensor, the app will track your mileage indoors, on treadmills, in big cities where the buildings block GPS, and in the forest where GPS reception is poor. It will also provide you with better instantaneous pace info. Not sure about improving accuracy in hilly areas, tho.
No reason whatsoever except to pad the Nike bigwigs' pockets some more.
Edit: the Nike App works perfectly fine inside on the treadmill. I repeat, you will be padding their pockets for no reason. I use the app on my treadmill all the time on a Droid 4 and my daughter uses it on treadmill on her iPhone.
- WHAT's WRONG WITH VERIZON FOR IPHONES? Any one else having the issue of it saying no service? Keeps going in and out for no reason SO ANNOYING IT DOES THIS LIKE 20 times a day! IT DID THIS WHEN I HAD A SCHEDULED INTERVIEW OVER THE PHONE AND THEY TRIED CALLING AND LEFT A VOICE MAIL AND I HAD TO RESCHEDULE. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! I had this issue last year on my iPhone 5s and it was happening again like a week ago. I put the SIM card into my 6plus and sure enough. SAME THING. I'm GONNA STICK MY FOOT UP VERIZONS *** AND MAKE THEM LICK THE POOP OFF MY TOES!
- What's the reason why you have to have a SIM card to activate an iPhone? What if I want to use my phone after my plan gets canceled. Is that legal without a sim? And is it legal to use someone's sim to activate it if my phone software brakes. But what's the reason that you need one to get into the iPhone? That doesn't seem right at all to not allow someone to get into an iPhone that has one.
- Nike and iPhone shoes/sensor? I heard about getting a certain pair of Nike shoes and you can sync them with your iPhone or something. Well I want to look into this, I have an iPhone 4S if that matters. But ABOUT how much do these shoes cost? Does the sensor thing come with it or bought separately? If so, how much is the sensor? Where can I buy these shoes and/or sensor?
- Is there any reason not to buy the iPhone 5? (If I have no iPhone)? I might need to switch to verizon (from tracfone) and am considering getting an iPhone. I currently don't have an iPhone and am wondering if it's worth spending $200 for an iPhone 5? If I'm going to have it for 2 years, I want something to last me that time. Is it worth it over the 4s?
