If you are interested in buying an iPhone, then you should know that the iPhone 5S has many features which are not found on the iPhone 5. It has a new LiDAR array which is great for detecting things in the environment. Also, it has improved image quality and smaller pixels. In addition, it has wider color gamut.
LiDAR array
LiDAR has been used in robotics, car design, and even self-driving cars. It’s also making its way into the mainstream with the newest models of Apple’s iPhones.
LiDAR is a technology that uses a series of laser pulses to measure distances to objects. It’s one of the most accurate depth measuring technologies around. In fact, LiDAR can detect objects up to 5 meters away.
The technology is now in the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPad Pro. This technology can create 3D scans of indoor spaces and layers photo imagery over it to create a 3D model of an object.
The iPhone’s ARKit app has a Scene Geometry API to allow the user to build a virtual world using the information. Users can also create special effects, record videos, and create immersive AR scenes.
3D Touch
The new iPhone 7 and its kin are replete with fancy gadgets, but Apple’s new flagship phone isn’t about the ol’ iPhone. Rather, the iPhone 7 and its sibling, the iPhone 6 are aimed squarely at the high-end smartphone market, namely, consumers in the high-price bracket. And while the latest iPhone isn’t the most powerful handset out there, it does boast an array of high-end features, such as an ambient light sensor. This is a novelty to iPhone owners who have not yet ventured into the backlit realm. But this isn’t a limitation; in fact, it helps define the overall experience.
The iPhone 7 boasts a trio of cameras, which includes the oh so shiny front and rear facing shooters. The newest iPhone model also packs in a new accelerometer, which allows you to measure the force of your thumb, and is an excellent way to flex your digits, should you be into your workout routine. As for the display itself, a high-resolution OLED panel is at the helm, as well as an improved Face ID system.
Wider color gamut
Apple’s iPhone and iPad have had wider color gamuts since the iMac 5k was released. These newer devices display more vivid colors and more accurate colors than previous models. However, there are some caveats.
One issue is that a wide color gamut can result in oversaturated colors. For example, when you shoot an image, you might have to remap the colors inward. The result is more accurate, but not necessarily more accurate colors.
If you are creating an HDR project, you might want to use a wide-gamut display to show the finished product. This is because a wide-gamut display will change the look of your blend modes and filters. But the effect might not be visible when you view your images on an iPhone.
Improved image quality
Those of you who have bought a new iPhone in the past few weeks may have noticed that the camera has gotten a lot better. For example, the new 48-megapixel sensor provides substantial improvements to the image quality. There are two key elements to these improvements. The first is the quad-bayer design, which is a four-sensor pixel sensing element that promises better low-light performance and reduced noise.
Another improvement is the Photonic Engine. This technology takes raw captures from the sensor and interpolates them earlier in the pipeline, which allows for more information-rich 16-bit RAW exposures. It also enables fusion, which allows for a composite image to be produced on the fly. Both of these enhancements should have serious photographers interested.
Conclusion
Finally, optical image stabilization improves the camera’s performance in low-light situations. Since hand shake can cause blurry images, the new technology offers a clear advantage.
