You can Transform iPhone and The 3D Touch Display into A Fairly Precise Scale !
The 3D Touch display on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus is able to detect pressure applied to the screen in order to serve the 3D Touch pop and peek functions. With the help of a little third party web app you can transform the iPhone and 3D Touch display into a fairly precise scale.
The apps would use the iPhone 6s’ screen pressure sensitivity to translate pressure into a loosely accurate measurement of weight but of course apple store won’t stand this kind of flummery, so they removed all apps that is related to weigh scale on the App Store.
However, there is some way to still scale your stuff with iPhone. That’s by going to the web. Obviously, Apple can’t enforce its restrictions on the open web, so you’re free to visit this website to inaccurately weigh objects until your heart’s content.

You’ll find the results are quite accurate as long as you’re delicate, and the weight measurement is offered down to hundredths of a gram all the way up to 385 grams, the maximum amount of weight it can detect.
NOTE : find a spoon that is somewhat flat on the bottom so that it doesn’t roll around or move much. Also, be as delicate as possible when placing items into the spoon to weigh, if the spoon moves at all or rolls around, you’ll quickly discover the weight of the spoon becomes included in the weight of the item and the measurement is way off. You need to use a metal item so that it is conductive, things like plastic, wood, cloth, and paper won’t register on the touch screen.
The scale uses JavaScript and is the creation of developer Tarun Pemmaraju. The code is based on the 3D Touch JavaScript implementation created by Marcel Freinbichler.
Actually the measurement is a bit off, but it is still a Great Site if you are in need of some measuring to do. It is a fun Site to have !
