Apple's 'Health' App Gains Ability to Track Steps With M7 Motion Coprocessor in New iOS 8 Beta

It shouldn't use a noticeable amount of energy at all. The M7 is designed to constantly and efficiently collect the motion data, whether an app is reading from it or not.
What I'm curious to see is will this app report that im constantly running, like the Nike+ app does!
I just realized - the data in my app is almost identical as the screenshot used for this article. What gives?
they must have walked the same number of steps as you...
or maybe it's your screenshot
Agreed. I like Duncan, not as heavy on the cafe to me. I brew it myself though so I know how strong I'm making it. Starbucks tastes like swill to me
This is neat. However, it seems rather excessive. Caffeine tracking??? Seems this should be more of a Myfitnesspal or Fitbit thing.
The steps on my Fitbit app and the steps in my Health app are nowhere close to each other. I know my Fitbit tracks correctly.
LOL, MR reports fiction as rumor (eg. digitimes, anything from Forbes, etc.) and covers every single time a grown man decides to play with a paper cutout of the iPhone 6. So don't pretend they have quality control standards. As for September release, that is a fact. Apple does not have the capability to push it past then without jeopardizing tens of billions in Christmas sales which would undoubtedly cost Cook his job. Hell, even if it isn't ready he'll cross his fingers and hope for the best. Google iOS 6 and iOS 7 for details. As for a release before September- that's impossible due to the time to complete the beta, manufacture enough iPhone 6s, etc.
Whatever you say, and however many reasons you come up with (which I agree with btw), it's still rumor, not fact.
And so they will never use hard words like "will" etc. Sorry dude.
I've uninstalled the Nike app. Fitbit's is much better. Syncs with Myfitnesspal, you can login to fitbit.com to see your data in the cloud, has steps, calories, distance
Please.
If fitness to you means counting the number of steps you take slowly walking around during your day... then you have bigger problems.

Whenever MacRumors posts screenshots of iOS 7/8 with such bright colours, my eyes almost hurt for a split second. This is almost like neon.
Still hoping for a dark mode with pastel colours.
So you think they should lump actual facts together with the rest of their garbage so that there is no way for novice readers to differentiate? Because that's exactly what they are doing.
Just looked at mine and it's pretty accurate. I walked a little over 3 miles today. I used other apps to track my distance before so I know it's pretty close. It's really nice how it tracks everything without any interaction from me. I like it! I can't wait for the iWatch.
7 days of previous data for steps isn't much. Pedometer, a free app on the iPhone 5S now does at least 3 months worth, at least that's as far back as I've been using it, so the ability to display much more than 7 days is already there. I hope Apple drastically improves that feature.
A light or medium roast coffee has more caffeine in it than a dark roast coffee.
If the original source is the coffee bean & it grew, they're probably calling it a vegetable due to "seeds." Hence, it's a food group.
That was impressive.

What I don't understand is why my $129 iPod shuffle can do this when my $550 iPhone 5c can't. Without downloading another app on my iPhone that is.
