It is reported that Apple is gearing up to improve its LiDAR scanner in its upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models with a new supplier. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is saying that Sony will replace Lumentum and WIN Semiconductors as the exclusive supplier for the Time-of-Flight (ToF) Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) in the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models and the same will reduce power consumption and offer better ToF performance.
It is also bringing improvements in the camera and potential augmented reality (AR) applications of the next generation iPhone 15 Pro models. The new ToF VCSEL solution from Sony integrates VCSEL and driver IC and that means the LiDAR scanner can offer better ToF performance and it will consume less power.
