Your phone can buzz strongly enough to get your attention, even though everything responsible for that movement has to fit inside an incredibly thin device. In this video, we explore why phones use vibration, how it evolved into haptic feedback, and the tiny mechanisms responsible for creating those familiar buzzes and taps.
