Apple is expected to launch its next-generation iPhone models — the iPhone 12 series in the coming weeks. While the company is yet to officially reveal the launch date, it has confirmed that the launch will be delayed by a few weeks.
With the official launch just around the corner, more and more information about the devices keeps surfacing online. In the latest development, Win Semiconductor has now started mass-production and shipment of ToF sensors and LiDAR scanners to Apple.

For those who are unaware, Apple iPhone 12 models are reportedly coming with LiDAR scanner, which stands for “light detection and ranging” and measures distances by illuminating the target with laser light and by measuring the reflection with a sensor.
This won’t be the first time Apple opts for the LiDAR sensor on its devices. The company has already started using the LiDAR technology on this year’s iPad Pro with the ToF sensor. As per the reports, not all models will come with this tech but the Pro model will have it.
If the iPhone sales are better than expected, then the company could get more orders from Apple for the fourth quarter of the year. It currently has a monthly production capacity of 41,000 pieces. The company is expected to invest and accelerate production in Nanke Park, which is estimated to create approximately 4,000 job opportunities.
