Apple Nike and iPod Sensor Specification

The Apple Nike and iPod Sensor is a compact and innovative device designed to enhance athletic performance by seamlessly integrating with compatible footwear and iPod models. Measuring only 1.37 inches in length and weighing around 0.23 ounces, the sensor is lightweight and unobtrusive, ensuring minimal impact on the athlete's movement. It is engineered to fit snugly into the specially designed pocket of Nike+ shoes, allowing for precise tracking of various workout metrics.

The sensor utilizes a three-axis accelerometer to capture accurate data on distance, pace, and calories burned, transmitting this information wirelessly to a compatible iPod or iPhone via Bluetooth technology. This integration allows users to receive real-time audio feedback and store workout data for later analysis, aiding in performance improvement and goal setting.

The device is powered by a non-replaceable lithium battery, offering a lifespan of approximately 1,000 active hours, which is sufficient for most long-term training regimens. It is designed for ease of use, with automatic activation upon movement and compatibility with the Nike+ Run app, which provides users with an intuitive interface for tracking progress.

The sensor's durable construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of regular exercise, while its water-resistance feature protects it from sweat and minor splashes. This makes it a reliable companion for both casual joggers and serious athletes seeking to monitor and enhance their performance through technology.
