Apple’s upcoming flagship – the iPhone 11 – is already in the works
and might pack some interesting technology we haven’t seen before in a
smartphone.
While details are still scarce, a new report has emerged that
suggests that Apple might be using a 3D Sony camera for its 2019 iPhone.
It’s true that Apple has already been using a 3D infrared camera for
accurate facial recognition ever since it launched the iPhone X.
However, this is a new type of sensor which has recently been
developed by Sony, and reportedly, Apple has already enlisted itself as a
buyer for Sony’s 3D cameras. This sensor works a bit differently than
Apple’s current 3D facial recognition hardware.
It is able to accurately scan real-life objects, such as living room
furniture by using laser emitters that model these objects in 3D.
Potentially, these cameras will be present on both the front and rear of
every new iPhone.
This kind of technology has great potential for gaming and other
educational uses. Sony says that it’ll be able to change the way
smartphone cameras are used these days.
Do note that Apple is not the only smartphone maker that opted in to
purchase these sensors. We might get to see similar technology in other
big flagships that are going to be launched in 2019 – especially the
Samsung Galaxy S10.
