There is no doubt that this year will unfold like the last one, and when the presentation event of the new iPhones of 2021 arrives we will know almost everything about them. A new rumor has emerged from the component manufacturers themselves, has emerged today.
And tells us that the LiDAR scanner which mount the current iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will reach the full range of the future iPhone 13. Thus, it will cease to be one of the differentiators between the iPhone and the iPhone Pro as is happening this year.
It seems that Apple will mount your LiDAR scanner on the entire iPhone 13 line in 2021, instead of the only Pro and Pro Max models, as is currently the case. This claim came out of the supply chain itself, according to DigiTimes.
First introduced on the iPad Pro in March 2020, then on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, the LiDAR scanner is a small sensor that uses 3D detection to measure distance to surrounding objects up to five meters.
This technology enables enhanced augmented reality experiences and other unique capabilities, such as the ability to instantly measure a person’s height, or Digitization of 3D objects.
Apple frequently introduced new features or specifications to high-end devices before expanding them to low-end devices in subsequent years. For example, in 2019, when pantallas OLED were limited to the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, with the iPhone 11 using an LCD screen, as of 2020 the entire iPhone 12 range is equipped with OLED displays.
It is therefore not surprising that in the models introduced this fall, the LiDAR scanner no more differentiator between the “normal” range and the Pro. Now it would be interesting if someone filtered us out what will make them different. Don’t worry, we’ll find out before your presentation. Insurance.
