The ToF sensor is tipped to be integrated into the iPhone 12

Just yesterday, new leaks from Apple confirmed that a“time of flight” camerawill be installed in the next fourth generation iPad Pro. On this model, we imagine that it is a real boon for all 3D mapping professionals who need to measure distances for example, such as landscapers.

But it's not just the brand's tablets that could benefit from it. Indeed, aobjectiveof this type should arrive on the back of the iPhone 12, indicating that we would be entitled to more lenses than on the 11 Pro Max.Concepts proposing a similar model have also been published in this sense.

Do you want more beautiful “portraits”?

CeToF sensor, which is already favored by many Android manufacturers, would greatly help in taking photos of faces. A specific mode, on iOS, has for some time offered the possibility of distinguishing a blurred background and a person located just in front. Its quality would therefore be improved, even if this functionality remains a gadget for the majority of users.

It's the companyLumentum, an Apple subcontractor also based in Silicon Valley but in San José, which would be in charge of manufacturing the lasers necessary for the design of this tool which is also an asset for augmented reality.

TrueDepth technology, used to operateFace ID, is already in the hands of this service provider. Its work on facial recognition is remarkable, so we can hope for good reviews for the images in the rangeiPhone 12.
