Is the LIDAR sensor likely to do anything useful? Does anyone with the iPad Pro find it a benefit? I'm wondering if it's one of Apple's short-term enthusiasms like 3D Touch, absolutely great until it's dropped without explanation.

I’ve seen the demo of it on the iPad Pro and it’s cool, but I don’t know if I need it? It’ll be interesting to see how they market that. If all models now have OLED, I think more than ever Apple will need to make the Pro models stand out. I didn’t see a hell of a lot of difference in the last 2 years but this year there seems to be 4 excellent iPhone coming and a big price gap. It makes no difference to me as I’m likely getting the iPhone 12 6.1” but still.

I would think there will be more features for LIDAR on the iPhone than the iPad. Could see improved portrait mode as it’s basically a TOF sensor.

LIDAR: Peek Into The Future With iPad Pro

Two weeks ago, Apple dropped a new iPad Pro into our lives via their website. One of its headline features? A brand new camera array. In this quick article, we look at what’s changed, including a whole new “3d” sensor — and what this new technology enables. If you’re

Could this Power Portrait Mode?
Today, the iPad doesn’t support portrait mode on the rear cameras. Could they fix this in a software update in the future, by using this depth data? While I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, it’s very unlikely.

it scans your wallet and makes sure there's less in there after being purchased

I kind of have to believe LIDAR was pushed on the iPad to allow early development for the iPhone 12 lineup so more AR focused apps can be showcased. I would imagine WWDC would have something to show here as well.

While it isn’t a game changer in and of itself, it does make you wonder if the tech is a high level preview of what we can expect for future Apple Wearables (ie, glasses, etc....)

While I love the classic design of the SE 2020, no doubt there are a lot of people who’d like a different look after 6 years of essentially the same design. With 5G being limited as of the moment, a 4G LTE-only iPhone 12 5.4” could very well be the best selling iPhone for 2020.

Seems unheard for Apple to release a flagship/latest gen below the usual $649 MSRP but these are trying times.

That would be perfect. My 2020 SE would be instantly traded in.

Didn't he just get a bunch of things wrong about WWDC this year?

He still has a 78% accuracy record..you think all leakers have 100% track records? He’s not the only leaker who had said this is likely

Seems like there might be something more to it all based on various discussions, like some at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-14-features-arm-based-macs-and-more.2243192/

He was wrong about iPhoneOS and hardware being announced but that’s about it. He has proven to be correct before that. Guess we will see in September

If these leakers got everything right, we’d have no surprises on release and it would be rather boring.

If Apple haven’t addressed the PWM issue, then they’ve made a rather large blunder. It’ll be more widely reported if it’s still there due to the fact the mainstream iPhones are using OLED.

God I hope there’s no differences in screen quality between the 749 iPhone and the 999. I could care less about lidar. Don’t miss it on my returned iPad 2020 vs my 2018. I just want the same screen quality, and awesome battery life.
