Yes, the iPhone 12 series (iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max) comes equipped with a LiDAR Scanner. LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, and it is a cutting edge technology used to measure distances between objects.
The LiDAR Scanner on the iPhone 12 series is used to take four different measurements from a scene, capturing information about the scene in three dimensions. It helps improve the accuracy of Apple’s augmented reality applications such as Measure, QuickLook, and Night Mode Portrait. It also helps autofocus in low-light environments as well as improving subject recognition in Night Mode and capturing better videos in low light using Apple’s Deep Fusion library.
On the hardware level, the LiDAR Scanner is a component that’s physically present on the rear side of the iPhone 12 series. It consists of an array of lasers that send out infrared beams and measure how quickly they return when they bounce off something in their path, allowing the iPhone to detect how far away a person or object is.
Overall, the LiDAR Scanner is a very useful tool, allowing the iPhone 12 series to do many things that were not possible with earlier models. For more information about the LiDAR Scanner, you can visit Apple’s website: https://www.apple.com/iphone/liDAR
