iPhone X: 3D facial recognition selfie camera?
A reliable source, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed that the upcoming iPhone 8, or perhaps even the iPhone X, to mark the 10-year anniversary, will come with a "revolutionary" new selfie camera that uses infrared technology to detect the location and depth of objects in its field of vision. The 3D camera system could be used for facial recognition, iris recognition and 3D selfies.It could also be used in augmented reality mobile games, to accurately replace a character's head with that of the user, Kuo wrote in a research report seen by 9to5mac .Apple's iPhone 7 Plus is already able to carry out a rudimentary form of depth detection, using its two rear cameras to determine the distance of objects.
He also states the iPhone 8 will feature a new OLED display that occupies most of the phone’s face. The home button will be removed to allow Apple to shrink down the bezel beneath the screen, and the top and side bezels will reportedly see significant size reductions as well. In fact, Apple’s new iPhone 8 will supposedly fit a large 5.8-inch OLED screen into a phone that is roughly the same size as the iPhone 7, which sports a 4.7-inch display. The estimated pricetag goes up to to a whopping USD1,000!
