The cameras of Apple’s next-generation iPhone 15 Pro series will be more powerful. In addition to the introduction of periscope zoom lenses, the main camera is also rumored to use Sony’s more advanced photosensitive elements. Analyst Guo Mingchi will bring new news, including LiDAR optical radar scanning The instrument will also be further improved.
Ming-Chi Kuo posted earlier that Sony will replace Lumentum and Wenmao Semiconductor as the exclusive LiDAR supplier for the iPhone 15 Pro series.
He said that Sony will provide a ToF time-of-flight sensor for the new iPhone. The key to Sony’s design is to integrate VCSEL and driver IC, which helps to reduce power consumption, or provide more power consumption under the same power consumption conditions. With good ToF performance, it is estimated that only the iPhone 15 Pro series will be equipped with LiDAR.

Sony will replace Lumentum (design) / Win Semi (production) as the exclusive ToF VCSEL supplier for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Lumentum/Win Semi will face long-term structural risks in the VCSEL market.— Ming-Chi Kuo (@mingchikuo) February 24, 2023
The iPhone 15 Pro series is equipped with improved LiDAR, which will further improve shooting performance such as night mode and autofocus, as well as enhance the AR experience. In the 2020 version of the iPad Pro, Apple introduced LiDAR for the first time, and then further used it on the iPhone 12 Pro series.
On the whole, LiDAR is not only an indispensable technology for AR applications, but also a very important aid for taking pictures. For example, it is very difficult to achieve autofocus in a dark environment. LiDAR uses light beams to detect The position of the object can achieve autofocus even in dark places, and it can also help faster and more accurate focusing in general shooting; there is also a portrait mode that many fruit fans like, and LiDAR can detect the edges of portraits more finely to optimize the depth of field effect.
