Three camera new iPhone.
Lu Jialin believes that the three-lens camera system will achieve advanced 3D sensing capabilities through stereo vision. Two of the camera lenses can capture single object images from different angles, and then use triangulation to obtain the distance between the iPhone and the subject. .
The report shows that similar to the pre-TrueDepth system used by Apple's iPhone X, the future new iPhone will add a rear 3D sensing system for augmented reality. This prediction by the Lu Jialin team, with Bloomberg Technology analyst Alex Alex Webb's point of view coincided with one another. The latter had stated in a report last year that the future iPhone will be equipped with rear 3D sensing capabilities.
Weber’s report at the time stated that Apple is evaluating a method of sensing technology called Time of Flight (ToF), which can calculate the time for the laser to bounce on surrounding objects to create a A 3D graphics environment. But Lu Jialin believes that Apple’s new iPhone will replace ToF with three lenses.
Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, has expressed many times that he has a keen interest in augmented reality technology. Last year, Apple released the ARKit platform that enables developers to develop augmented reality applications for iPhone and iPad on iOS 11. .
Lu Jialin also stated in the report that the third rear lens of the new iPhone may have a longer focal length in the future to enhance the system's zoom capability. This telephoto lens may enable the new iPhone to have a 3x optical zoom function for the first time, allowing users In the viewfinder, the image is magnified three times, but it is not as blurry as the digital zoom. In the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X models, they use 2x optical zoom technology.
Huawei's new P20 Pro smartphone became the first smartphone to adopt a three-lens rear camera system. Three of the cameras contained an 8-megapixel telephoto camera, a 20-megapixel black and white camera, and a 4000. Megapixel wide-angle camera,
Yuanta Securities analyst Jeff Pu also expects that Apple will release at least one new iPhone with a three-lens rear camera next year.
