We are a few weeks away from knowing all the details about the new iPhone 12, leaving aside the rumor mill that has accompanied us this year. One of the unknowns that is still present is whether these iPhone 12 Pro will include a LiDAR sensor or not . An image taken from the supply chain itself could have already solved this question.
The LiDAR sensor would be present in the iPhone 12 Pro
The Twitter account Mr. White recently published some photographs showing the rear glass of the future iPhone 12 Pro. In this image you can clearly see the three holes for the main cameras as well as two other holes that would serve to integrate both the flash True Tone like the LiDAR sensor . These are the tests that we have to affirm that we are facing a rear glass of the Pro model. Obviously, these images must be taken with tweezers. It is possible that they are not extracted from the company’s supply chain and have been created externally, which is why it should be considered as a simple idea.
One of the problems that can be found with these images undoubtedly lies in not having clear information on the size of the iPhone 12 Pro to which it corresponds. The hypothesis that arises right now is that we are facing the rear glass of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which would be the only model that would include this LiDAR sensor. But this is where the debate currently opens, as there are analysts who defend that only the ‘Max’ model will be presented, while others believe that it will be in both iPhone 12 Pro. The LiDAR sensor could be a differentiating feature for high-end models. range above the iPhone 12 that will be much more basic.
The inclusion of this sensor was seen for the first time in the iPad Pro 2020 to improve the experience of augmented reality. On an iPhone it could make a lot more sense since the sensor also supports the camera to take better pictures. With its technology the depth can be detected more adequately so the quality of an image and the subsequent treatment that the hardware performs will be much brighter. This is why this is a technology that would only be intended for the ‘Pro’ models. These are designed for true professionals and photography lovers who require all the necessary technologies to have an optimal result.
Possible launch of the iPhone 12
These new iPhone models could have a new design on the edges but unfortunately the notch would remain the same size. One of the great unknowns that exist around the devices is not related to their characteristics but to their launch date. Due to the global pandemic by COVID-19, the company’s launch schedule has been misaligned. Apple itself recognized that they would have to delay the release of the iPhone 12 to the market. The closure of industries in China and the delay in the shipment of components during these months have ended up causing this effect.
Analysts point to the month of October to see these iPhones in the market, although they could reach a dropper. This would cause shipments to end up accumulating reliving the shopping experience with the iPhone X.
