Forget iPhone 11: Apple’s 2020 iPhone Will Have A Never Seen Before Technology

Apple recently unveiled their latest iPhone releases last month, the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and and iPhone 11 Pro Max and while these flagships offered a noticeable upgrade in camera quality and performance, it’s next year’s iPhone that will have new technology never seen before.
Apple’s 2020 flagship is expected to include a more sophisticated three-dimensional camera, The camera system will include a laser scanner to create 3D replicas of the real world, boosting the iPhone’s Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities. This means the iPhone would work better at placing virtual objects in AR and would therefore offer better and enhanced depth perception, according to Bloomberg.
Apple’s iPhones have supported AR applications over the years. The company launched its ARKit SDK in the summer of 2017 – a set of tools to help mobile developers build high-quality AR apps- getting the jump on Google in offering a platform-specific AR tool. Google brought its ARCore system out of beta in february 2018.
As much as there has been software developments, the iPhone’s augmented reality performance that is somewhat dictated by the hardware it runs on and this new camera technology will prove to be a major performance boost when it comes to AR.
The iPhone franchise is heavily invested in AR technology. Apple CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly voiced his interest in AR over the past several years, saying that he “views it as being more important in the long term than virtual reality”. If the rumours prove to be true, Apple’s next iPhone could also lead to the company finally releasing an AR headset.
Apple’s 2020 iPhone is also expected offer 5G support. While 5G compatibility is a hustle, seeing as Safaricom have said they will not invest in the technology yet, it’s only going to become more important over the next two to three years.
