Apple is looking to make LiDAR standard across the entire iPhone 13 family according to a new analyst report.
The latest salvo comes from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, who claims that all iPhone 13 models will come with LiDAR. In today’s current-generation smartphones, only the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max get LiDAR. LiDAR can be used for augmented reality applications and enhancing photography (it can enable faster focusing in low-light conditions). LiDAR can also be used to improve portrait shots taken at night. Apple is looking to democratize LiDAR with this next generation so that all its smartphones will utilize whatever it has in store for augmented reality applications.
