iPad Pro has Lidar Camera. Augmented reality is coming, and it looks like Apple has the upper hand. It is rare that I compliment Apple innovation; but, the new iPhone, with LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor will enable the new iPhones to create 3D imaging of what it sees, thus enabling all sorts of advances in Augmented Reality. I played with the early Tango sensors in an Android device several years ago; but, updated Smartphones matched the capability in regular Smartphones, and the technology didn't advance. True LIDAR sensors will open up a whole new world in Smartphones, and I can't wait.
