Another tipster has just shared news of the upcoming Apple iPhone 13 series. Although, rather than leaking new information, the leaker has basically corroborated reports from the past regarding the iPhone 13 Pro featuring a LiDAR sensor.

According to a tweet from @dylandkt, the high end models within the series, which is the iPhone 13 Pro lineup, will exclusively feature the new LiDAR sensor on the back. The tipster further added that the Cupertino based giant had initially aimed at including the sensor across the entire 2021 iPhone lineup, which was also previously rumored. However, the brand had to skip this feature for the lower end models due to certain unknown reasons.

In other words, the iPhone 13 Mini and base iPhone 13 could’ve also featured LiDAR technology as well. But now, only the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max would have the additional sensor on the rear. Notably, the tipster has been correct with certain predictions regarding upcoming Apple products in the past. For those unaware, LiDAR scanner was first introduced by the iPhone maker back in 2020 with the iPad Pro and then arrived in the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

This technology uses Time of Flight systems to measure the distance between the sensor and the object so that the camera can measure the distance precisely. The company has also applied this technology to enhance its AR experience primarily and also uses it in its Night Mode to improve image results as well. So stay tuned for more updates.
