#2If you enjoyed that, I have a shed load of other 3D Touch experiments written in Swift targeting the iPhone 6s:

#3So when can you weigh a dime bag? Asking for a friend.
But seriously this could be potentially awesome.
Could you convince people to put a bowl on their phone, memorise its "weight" and then fill it with stuff to calculate calories. Replacing those digital food scales.

I've only tinkered so far, but I've just ordered a set of calibration weights to have a proper play next week.

#5How about apples? Can you weigh apples?

I think apples will work. Grapes were my plan, because I could fit five on the screen. Sadly the little blighters weren't heavy enough to make it work :(

#7Wow, time to build one of these for drugs

#8That's awesome. You can make a scale another way too, by using the barometer in the iPhone. You will need a ziplock or other airtight clear plastic bag, and an object of known weight for calibration.
You can measure the change in air pressure in the bag with your iPhone inside, and put your object to weigh on top of the bag (carefully balanced). There is a linear relationship between the rise in air pressure and the weight of the object on the bag (I tried this and it does work)

A US nickel coin weighs exactly 5g.
Edit: if you happen to be in that exotic locale. I'm sure other coinage has similarly consistent weight.
