Leading analyst Min-Chi Kuo learned a little more about Apple's future flagship and hastened to share it with the public.
First, the main feature of the iPhone 8 will be increased photosensitivity. For this, light sensors and a receiver will be used.
The sensor consists of 6 components from different manufacturers: epitaxial plate, filter, diffractive optical element, VCSEL and other.
The receiver module consists of an IR lens, a filter, a CIS and a CMOS image sensor.
Structured light is used to gather depth information, integrate 2D image data from the front camera to create a full 3D image.
Given the distance limits for the structured light transmitter and receiver (we estimate 50-100 cm), an approximation sensor (with ToF function) is needed to remind users to set their iPhone at the optimal distance for 3D.
The second statement concerns the color of the device body. Kuo states that the white front will not be regardless of the color of the device.
I wonder how this will actually combine.
