So LiDar is just an apple fancy naming for the depth sensor” it’s not, LiDAR is name of the tech just like ToF. LiDAR is kind a ToF just more advanced version. Apple is using different name than ToF because it’s not ToF it’s LiDAR just google it.

    ” The LiDAR Scanner maps the area point by point, minimizing the noise received and therefore resulting in a more accurate reading and 3D point cloud. 3D ToF sensors used in Android smartphones are also vulnerable to light reflected from a specular surface, a flat surface which creates a mirror-like reflection”

            Larger sensor for pro max (Thank Sony for that one)

            Wider aperture for all the models (Thank Sony for that one)

            LiDar sensor ( 99% of people have no idea what it is even used for including you)

            4x better drop resistance (from pocket height go watch the keynote again (what is even pocket height 30cm-40cm?))

            slightly better zoom (Thank Sony for that one)

            OLED display for 12 series (Thank Samsung for that one)

            MagSafe (The international way of apple saying to its customers that they are unable to charge their phones)

            ProRAW (Even they don't know what it is yet)

            Dolby Vision recording (Thank Dolby on that one)

            5nm chip (Well this one is on apple wow all that phone and they did 3 things damn now that is innovation)

            I'm not going to call them gimmicks but apparently you know more than apple that they work as advertised to the dot.

            And i was not even trying to spell boy GOI (get over it)

            Now go pray to you apple cult.

Too much milking the cow on every little thing, I don’t want to be part of, and it is not like there are no better options either!

                Apple just made it harder to switch from Android to iOS. I know specs don't mean much compared to actual performance but I feel more comfortable having a specs phone than a powerful processor that just saves milliseconds.

                  Am not going to buy a iphone no changer and I hate notch on smartphones I also hate finger print readers if I was to buy a iphone
                  I buy a cheap iphone I think apple is only a good choice when you're looking for a cheap smartphone like the iphone 5c
                  ios really is just not as good as android it's just to limited for a high end smartphone I wish apple fix this problem by dual booting both android & ios on one of there iphone modals

The 5x zoom has been in android since p30 pro and apple just gives you 2.5x . Even the iphone xs has got OLED so it is not something new . Apple said it is 4x more drop resistant but they didn't said anything about the scratch resistance .
                    Anyway soon Sd 875 will launch and it will be also be 5 nm.

                      was debating on either the SE 2020 or the 12 mini because I'm mildly sensitive to PWM, but after trying an XS with the white point reduction setting on I'm sold on the 12 mini.

                        For the first time ever, the Mini made me consider buying an iPhone. This won't happen any time soon-I am too tied with Android and notch is so 2018-but I give to Apple that they made a phone I actually liked.

                                Beautiful phones in terms of designs. Especially the blue and for me the silver one (looks like a solid piece of metal).

                                Was hoping to try the mini but I'm sceptical about the battery life.
                                Apple didn't mentioned anything about the batteries on any of the models so it doesn't give me much hope, not for mini at least, given the size.
                                Let's be honest there's not much room for a big battery and optimisations alone wont save the model.

                                Regular iPhone 12, imo, is the model to go for, and I would happily spend my money on it. The most improved one and a good sweet spot in terms of physical size.

                                  Apple ahould have implemented a touch id into the power button like the new air and get rid of the notch on the small iphone 12.its taking to much space imo.

                                    Anonymous, 18 Oct 2020It's just a normal Sony ToF sensor found on other phon... moreIt's not just a "Sony ToF sensor". Don't spread misinformation.
                                    Apple's LiDAR sensor and 3D ToF sensors in some Android phones are very different.
                                    The LiDAR sensor can capture a whole room, with way more details, lesser noise, faster and from farther distance (>5m) than the "traditional" 3D ToF sensors that are found on some higher-end Android phones. It can also create a 3D mesh model of a real object with greater accuracy, by using thousands of infrared dots (comparable to the 3D face scanners).

                                    It's definitely one of the reasons for me, to test an iPhone after a decade of Android devices.

                                      L.O.R.D, 18 Oct 2020Well done! The OnePlus may not be my favorite android devic... moreMy cousin had two last oneplus phones and both had bad camera. Now he bought iPhone 12 Pro mainly because of the camera.

                                        My 6s still working great with the new update and the original battery. So i would stick with it for now.
                                        If given a choice, i would go for xr or 11 only because of lcd screens. But 12 n mini are led....

                                        I have seen screen burn ins in samsung phones and would stay away from it.
