Smartphones are a great technology. We need them every day. They have some secrets. One is on the new iPhone. It can measure someone's height. You just point your phone camera at someone and an app gives you their height. The person you are measuring must stand in front of the camera from head to toe. You can measure your own height in a mirror, but this is not so accurate. The new app could end arguments about who is the tallest.
The app is called Measure. It uses a special sensor that is inside the camera. The sensor uses LiDAR technology. This is "light imaging, detection, and ranging". LiDAR is used to make digital 3D models of the Earth. It measures a person's height by bouncing light off them. When the light returns to the sensor, the app calculates the person's height. A website joked that the app, "isn't as cool as drawing lines on a door" to find someone's height.

A NEW LIFE
(written by Maya)
I came here to work. It's really easy to get a job in computing because there are so many tech companies here and wages are high. I've lived here for five years now. I love it.
I don't miss anything about my country. People here are very relaxed and open and I get on very well with my neighbours. We don't have long, dark, cold winters here - it's warm all year round.mBut if I want snow, I can go to the mountains and I can still watch ice hockey here. The only problem is, it's difficult to find time to do those things because I work long hours.
Before I came here, I heard crime was bad and that the health system was expensive, but I haven't had any problems. In big cities, it can be dangerous to walk at night and there's gun violence, but in my small town I've never seen anything like that. I don't always lock my front door and no-one has ever stolen anything. As for the health system, the service is expensive, but my company provides health insurance, so I've had no problems when I've needed treatment.
