How to get barometric pressure iOS

From what I know, the new iPhone 6/Plus have a barometer that will give us the value of the air pressure. How do I do this? There's little resources I can find.

Attention: It seams, that with the iOS 10.0.1 it is no more possible to detect if a pressure sensor is available e.g. on the iPad Pro. I have written a bug report to Apple.

It is part of the Core Motion Framework. It exposes two new class CMAltimeter and CMAltitudeData which you can use to determine the barometric pressure.

Core Motion provides two new classes (CMAltimeter and CMAltitudeData) which allow you to access the barometer on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. On these two devices, you can also use a CMMotionActivity object to determine whether the user is on a bicycle.
