iPhone To Rotate In The Air To Prevent From Damage

Apple has been granted a patent for technology that detects that a phone is about to hit the ground and rotates it mid-air to limit damage.

The US Patent and Trademark Office has issued Apple a patent for a protection system that will consist of two parts - the detection and the rotation.

The phone will be able to detect that it is rapidly falling downwards and identify its distance and angle from the ground.

To do this, the patent said it will take advantage of the components, most of which are already present, such as the "accelerometer, gyroscopic sensor, distance or position sensors (eg, radar, ultrasonic, and the like), location sensors (eg, global position system, compass), image sensors (eg, camera), sound or audio sensors (eg, speakers, microphones) which may be used as a sonar combination."

It is likely that combination of the different sensors will be responsible for the effective ..

For the perfect landing, the force used has to be precisely calibrated, but the patent said that the phone may collect data, to produce a memory bank of sudden impacts.
