New iPhones will have cat like flexibility to protect phones during falls. Once a fall is detected, iPhone rotates to limit the damage to sensitive components (like glass screens and cameras).
iPhone will use various techniques to rotate mid-air.
1. Vibration motor: During fall, the internal vibration alert motor activates to alter the angle of impact
2. Ejecting battery: During fall, the battery is ejected, thereby changing the center of mass and the angle of impact
3, Gas canister: During fall, thrust is generated using a compressed gas canister to alter a phone’s momentum or orientation.
4. Grippy headphones: During fall, the headphone jack would respond by contracting and gripping the attached 3.5mm pin, transforming the headphone cable into a bunjee cord.
