An apparatus for detecting an electronic product whether being placed vertically or horizontally, includes a fixed support member connected to a constraint base at an anchor point, a cantilever having a first end connected to the fixed support member so as to be approximately parallel with the constraint base, and a counterweight mounted on a second end of the cantilever in order to provide a force thereof. A sensing device converts bending of the cantilever into a circuitry status. When the cantilever extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to a gravity line defined by the counterweight, the sensing device converts the distortion of the cantilever into a first circuitry status. When the cantilever extends in a direction approximately parallel to the gravity line, the sensing device converts the distortion of the cantilever into a second circuitry status different from the first circuitry status.
