IOW most fingerprinting fail on mobile devices and that sensors, eg batteries, are one of the few remains for fingerprining on iOS. Do you disagree with Heise? Could you please substantiate your statements regarding iOS fingerprinting?
However, mobile devices have a bunch of sensors, some of which can be accessed by JavaScript without permission, namely the ones you wouldn't expect to yield identifying information (e.g. accelerometer). The problem is that no two sensors are alike – they all introduce noise into the data which can be enough to fingerprint a device.
