Sorry if there's already been a thread about this. I just saw this info and got all excited! Using it for carseats was my first thought, lol. :thumbsup:

Here's what I saw:

iOS 7 has a built-in bubble level, of all things. I thought it was a pretty strange addition at first… but then I found myself using it one day. Then again the next.

To get to the level, open the compass app. Though not immediately obvious, there’s a second page to the app; swipe to the left, and you’ll be at Apple’s level.

(Pro tip: Double tapping the screen resets the level to consider whatever angle the phone is currently at to be 0°. That design choice, expressed through a series of colored flashes, isn’t super intuitive)

Okay, deleted my thread.

For any other searchers, Apple calls it an "inclinometer".

Ha! I had no idea. And you're better than me, because I didn't even do a search before posting. I just scrolled down the page a bit and didn't see anything, so I posted. :p
