LiDAR Sensors and Camera Design
Each year Apple makes minor improvements to the camera system in the iPhone 13. This year, Apple may roll out the LiDAR sensor to all of the iPhone 13 models. Currently, this AR/VR sensor is found only in the Pro models of the iPhone 12.
A recent rendering from MySmartPrice shows a new physical arrangement for the cameras on the iPhone 13. Instead of stacking the camera lenses vertically on top of each other, the iPhone 13 rendering suggests the cameras may be placed diagonally.
We don’t know why Apple would change the orientation of the cameras. The company typically only makes incremental changes to the iPhone’s camera technology and does not overhaul the system so much that it requires a redesign.
