At 1 o'clock in the morning, Apple's autumn conference will be held, officially releasing a new generation of iPhones (5.8 inches, 6.1 inches and 6.5 inches). Although this year's three iPhones have not yet been officially released, but about the new iPhone next year. The information has been exposed in advance.
Today, according to Apple Insider, well-known analyst Guo Mingxi revealed that 2019 iPhones will not be equipped with TOF technology. At the same time, Guo Mingxi also gave reasons, he said, Apple's current camera algorithm is still better than competitors, Apple phones do not need to be equipped with TOF technology To improve the quality of the photo, so the 2019 iPhone is unlikely to be equipped with TOF technology.
TOF technology is the abbreviation of Time of Flight, that is, the sensor emits modulated near-infrared light, and after the object is reflected, the sensor calculates the distance of the captured object by calculating the time difference or phase difference between the light emission and reflection to generate depth information. Combined with the traditional camera shooting, the three-dimensional contour of the object can be represented by different colors representing the topographic maps of different distances.
As an important technology in the mobile phone market, the relationship between 3D TOF and smart phones is becoming more and more 'intimate'. At present, OPPO, vivo has a number of models equipped with this technology, next year TOF will enter the stage of large-scale application.
