With the addition of a LiDAR scanner, we could expect the combination of a wide-angle lens, ultra-wide lens, telephoto camera, and LiDAR scanner on the iPhone 12 Pro. In case you’re out of the loop, the non-Pro iPhone 12 series would most likely miss out on the LiDAR scanner, according to the leaks and speculations so far.
The LiDAR Scanner can power more realistic AR experiences with new scene geometry, instant AR, and improved motion capture and people occlusion. It also helps with depth mapping and plane detection even in poor lighting conditions, thanks to laser beams.
