Macro Camera
Depth Camera The TOF 3D (Time-of-Flight) sensor is a depth-sensing technology that measures the time it takes for light to travel to an object and back, creating a detailed 3D map of the scene. This helps with accurate depth perception, improving features like autofocus, portrait mode, and augmented reality (AR) applications. It also aids in facial recognition and biometric security by providing precise depth information. ​The TOF 3D LiDAR scanner on the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is a depth-sensing technology that enhances photography, particularly in low-light conditions, by measuring the distance between the device and objects to create accurate depth maps. This improvement facilitates faster autofocus, better Night mode performance, and enhanced augmented reality (AR) experiences. Notably, Apple has transitioned to sourcing LiDAR components exclusively from Sony for the iPhone 15 Pro models, aiming to reduce power consumption and potentially improve performance
