Lidar stands for 'light detection and ranging', and is a little like the ToF (time-of-flight) technology used in many higher-end Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, but more accurate.

The iPhone 12 is rumored to be getting a lidar scanner like the one on the 2020 iPad Pro (Image credit: Apple) Apple has much less of a stop-start relationship with AR and its tangentially linked technologies than Google’s Pixel division does.

We think this supports the popular rumor that some of the iPhone 12 series phones will have a lidar sensor, just like the iPad Pro 2020. This is not quite AR (augmented reality), but it is perhaps a cousin. You’ll likely see NFC points spout up all over the place by the end of the year. These are app fragments that will load when you scan a specific QR code, tap into an NFC point, or scan one of Apple’s new App Clip codes, which are Apple’s own version of a QR code. AR is still a big dealĪpple continues to focus on how its iPhones interact with the world around us, and App Clips are the latest nod to this. The Microsoft Xbox Series X and Sony PlayStation 5 both have spatial audio, which will, with any luck, let you hear convincing surround sound through a normal pair of headphones. And this is a feature we’ll see in many more areas outside of the iPhone over the next 12 months. However, surround sound in video is potentially more exciting. The phone uses multiple mics to detect the origin of, say, a person’s voice and block out all other sound – a similar feature was used way back in 2013 in the LG G3. But we’d be surprised if this isn't added to the iPhone’s camera video capture at some point.Īpple made the first steps towards this in 2019 with a feature called Audio Zoom.

We’re more excited to listen to a Netflix movie using earphones with the spatial information of a great surround system. However, that announcement, in tandem with the news that the AirPods Pro will soon support spatial audio, which is surround sound via psychoacoustic processing, suggests that Apple may alter the mic array on the iPhone 12. Spatial audio is coming to the AirPods Pro, which may hint at improved mics on the iPhone 12 (Image credit: Apple) This is nothing the iPhone 11 couldn't in theory do now, as the above-screen and bottom microphones can distinguish between people speaking on either side of the phone’s display. There’s a front-facing one by the earpiece, another on the bottom edge, and third in the camera housing.Ĭonversation translation was one of the big new iOS 14 features Apple revealed, and this features a landscape mode that can live translate conversations, laying the app out to give each speaker one half of the screen. Two new features announced at WWDC, one for iOS 14 and the other for the AirPods Pro, suggest that the iPhone 12 series may have better, or at least different, microphones than the iPhone 11.Ĭurrent iPhone use high-quality MEMS microphones. Right now, all iPhones from the iPhone SE up to the iPhone 11 Pro Max use four app columns, and this may start to look regressive in a phone with an even larger display, and which can make greater use of the space when iOS 14 lands. Bigger screens on the iPhone 12 range would mean more room for Apple's new home screen widgets (Image credit: Apple)Īsking more of the screen space supports the rumors that Apple will increase the screen size of its larger iPhone 12 models – let’s call them the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.Īs the current iPhone 11 models still have fairly significant bezels around the screen, we expect the display on the new handsets to push further into the sides of the phone.Īpple may also choose to bump the iPhone 12 Pro Max up to display five columns of app icons, which in turn will give the phone more room for widgets without making you get rid of almost all of your app icons.
