Not all iPhones come with this powerful tech. LiDAR is an advanced (and expensive) feature, so Apple limits it to the Pro models. Regular iPhones, like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15, don’t have it.

Many LiDAR systems operate in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, others operate in the green band to penetrate water and detect bottom features. There are several types of LiDAR ...

Clean water, safe roads, accessible broadband and electricity: These things are not a given. They depend on vast ...

In the race to develop robust perception systems for robots, one persistent challenge has been operating in bad weather and ...

Once considered an essential part of the auto industry's high-tech future, lidar sensors are now often ... automation constitutes a "convenience feature that is meant to make long drives easier ...

Modern electronics are bristling with cameras, Bluetooth, and other less common sensors. LiDAR is one such sensor that's found its way into Apple's iPhone 12, as well as many robot vacuums and ...

Based on this theory, the team developed a two-photon interference atmospheric lidar system using an up-conversion detector. This system features single-photon sensitivity, high quantum efficiency ...

Tesla, the company headed by a CEO who has called lidar a "crutch" and "fool's errand," spent at least $2 million on Lidar sensors in 2024—about 10% of the manufacturer's revenue this quarter alone.
