2019 iPhone to have triple camera with 3D sensor

29 May 2018
The secondary and tertiary cameras will have a 3D vision for Augmented Reality purposes.

LostInTheReality, 30 May 2018Soon having 6 cameras or even more will be the norm.Wonder, but may be some day. Imagine device with super-wide, normal(rgb+w/r+g+g+b+w), narrow(tele), thermo, 2.camera(one or each fov) for 3D,... thats about 6 cameras until nothing new comes like separated sensors for each color(9 then). Sure would want that kind of beast.
And some new kinds of cameras might still come.

    Thank me later, 30 May 2018that "to take on DSLR" is a joke. Smartphone cameras are gr... moreWhat I mean they get features similar to what pro cameras can do, like bokeh, zoom, different aperture, ISP, histogram, focus peaking, rear curtain sync, long shutter, hdr...
    and some abilities they got on top - living image/spherical/bothie/3D/other modes, multiple(more than just hdr) image stacking from one/multiple sensors(mostly), big high res screen to see focus, color spectrum sensor, water resistance, thin and light body for higher mobility and to get angle not possible with thick camera, better focus with big aperture(because of small sensor), AI assisted functions(object recognition), instant macro, 3D stereo audio(some), some instant wider fov,....
    Using that they get ahead of hw capabilities of small sensor, closer to those pro cameras in quality and beyond with some abilities and features.

      Soon having 6 cameras or even more will be the norm.

        Just wait for the next overwhelming trend.

Did they set a new bar / expectations for the cameras? No! Only when Apple started it, then it will become the main trend. The main norm. So what if LG, HTC, Sony did it first? Can they sell so much like Apple? I bet all these companies can start betting on 3D camera again.

Only when Apple started it, then it will be the new trend. Do you see 3D camera to be an in-thing after LG, Sony, etc etc implemented it? No! Look at the notch trend now. Even Google started embracing it!

                            how 3D implementation done is one thing and copying is a different thing..

                              First of all, Apple should think to Dual SIM with dual standby.

                                  AnonD-122899, 30 May 20183D sensors is coming!! Android OEMs, get ready to copy again!!! The issue is that the Apple chips are more powerful than Android flagships, and besides that even the most popular/average Apple device (iPhone 6) is more powerful than an average Android device (1.5GHz Cortex A53, 2GB RAM, eMMC 5.0).

                                  But stepping aside that, Apple's SDK is much more fleshed-out and easier to develop for than Android's loosely supported toolkit. And Apple is a long-distance ahead of Google when it comes to 3D/AR support software-wise.

                                  So I expect OnePlus, Nokia, Xiaomi, LG (and much later Samsung) to go and copy Apple with 3-cameras for 3D implementations... yet they won't be very good, or as good as Apple due to a shortcoming in hardware AND software. The wildcard is Huawei, they might be the only one with a reasonable device with this feature.

Even the late xperia series for example the xperia Ray can capture 3D.. Apple is as usual ceremoniously late to the party
