why dont they just do this?

>>62188885
Gay

Because if you dont break it, you don't need to buy a new one...

>>62188885
Because that's way more expensive and takes up way more space than just putting a fucking cover on your phone

might as well build in a little parachute that auto deploys when falling, probably easier and cheaper

It's not like gravity has changed now that the phone is in free fall. You're looking for accelerometers.

We can detect gravity. We have gravity maps of Earth. You can get equipment to measure local gravity.

So I can use it as the perfect weapon.

We plant something edgy inside the bumper and when it's time to do the deed, you move your hand quickly while holding the phone, the bumper activates and comes out and I slash my opponent's head with it and when it stops detecting movement, it hides the bumper-knife.

Guys how about a string and motor that connects it to your belt and when it detects falling the string retracts so it doesn't fall.

Use your brain.

For people without a brain:
Moving parts in a mobile device are idiotic
Gravity sensors can not distinguish between a car accelerating and free fall
It requires A LOT of space inside the device
It can not protect the phone from falls into uneven ground
It is very hard to engineer and offers few benefits
It is inferior to a regular, more durable phone or a simple cover

I could go on, just use your brain.
