Apple iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max tipped to exclusively feature LiDAR technology

Apple is highly likely to launch the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max, sometime in September.

Apple iPhone 13 is going to come out sometime in September. The wait is excruciating for iPhone fans, but it is also the time when we hear about the upcoming iPhone models through the grapevine. A new tip has suggested that Apple is going to bring the LiDAR technology exclusively to the Pro models, which are the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. This contradicts previous rumours that favoured LiDAR sensors will be available for all iPhone 13 models. Tipster DylanDKT shared on Twitter that Apple is planning to keep the Pro models distinct from the rest of the models, much like the iPhone 12 Pro phones are. A big part of those special differences that the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max will have over the regular models include the LiDAR sensors, which Apple has been using on select iPad models. LiDAR sensors use the Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology to measure a more accurate distance between the sensor and the object. This technology is going to improve the Augmented Reality (AR) experience on the iPhone and offer better depth in some shots.
