Why does a phone need a Magnetometer, Barometer, Gyroscope and Gravity sensors?
What the heck. Has science gone too far?

Are you stupid?
Compass, weather, orientation, acceleration(?)

The phone doesn't measure the weather. It takes data from servers.
I understand the compass part. But that doesn't excuse the barometer, accelerometer, gravity sensor or gyroscope.

There's no reason it can't measure the atmospheric pressure locally and get other information from the internet. That said, it's more likely for one of the other reason you would want to know atmosphere pressure, like measuring the altitude. The gyroscope is for measuring the angular momentum, so you can do things like tilt the phone to steer in a racing game.
I don't know how you don't understand what the other things are for, they're pretty obvious.

>barometer, accelerometer, gravity sensor
These I understand your concern but
>gyroscope
does has it's uses from games to video watching.
What the fuck is the gravity sensor for? Looking up if you're on Mars?

Corrections to gyroscope and accelerometers?

It happens. Once time I got really drunk and ended up on Europa. Banged some hot alien bitches when I told them I was from Earth.

If you ever get transported to a different universe with different gravity you'll be glad to have your trusty gravity sensor with you.

Gravity is just the accellerometer data without gravity correction
What's the magnetometer for?

fucking nerds

Sorry, I don't buy French or American junk.

Gyroscope is for Pokemon go

???
Does it really use it or did you confuse it with gps?
