Engadget Reporting Context:
As highlighted by Engadget, the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanner on iPhone Pro models emits invisible nano-second laser pulses to calculate direct Time-of-Flight (dToF). Unlike optical stereoscopy, LiDAR captures accurate 3D geometry in zero light, powering instant camera autofocus, portrait depth segmentation, and ARKit spatial room mesh generation.
