Not only does an enhanced Digital Crown in the new Apple Watch Series 4 provide subtle haptic feedback when turned, it now doubles as a sophisticated electrical heart sensor that can take reach electrocardiograms of your heart.
In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to take advantage of Apple’s True Tone technology to make images on the Retina display and Touch Bar of your 2018 MacBook Pro appear more natural and match the ambient light, which helps reduce eyestrain.
Adding a specialized sensor to the rear camera would aid in depth mapping, augmented reality features and more.
Active Edge, the signature feature of Google’s Pixel 2 flagship, takes advantage of deformation-sensitive resistors that slightly change their resistance when stretched or squished.
A new report claims Apple’s suppliers continue to struggle with ramping up yields as the TrueDepth camera remains the biggest production bottleneck.
If yield rates for the component don’t improve, Apple may be unable to fulfill all iPhone X preorders until early 2018.
They’re calling it Animoji and I have a feeling that this is going to prove hugely popular.
Speed reportedly won’t be an issue with a new 3D facial recognition scanner coming to Apple’s OLED-based iPhone 8.
Sophisticated 3D-sensing technologies expected to debut on Apple’s OLED iPhone should be incorporated into iPhone 9 and other iPhone models due in 2018.
Augmented reality apps will look awesome on iPhone 8 thanks to a dedicated rear 3D sensor for accurate depth mapping and sensing. The side buttons may come with haptic feedback.
In addition to suppliers Largan, Lumentum and Finisar, Apple may have commissioned Viavi Solutions to build iPhone 8’s 3D-sensing modules.
The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) today awarded Apple a patent describing a process for embedding light-sensing sensors into a mobile display. The invention, titled “Electronic devices with display-integrated light sensors,” potentially paves the way for next year’s iPhone.
Apple’s new patent specifically mentions the ambient light and proximity sensors, which are found on the front face of the device, as being integrated into the display assembly.
According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and pundits in the know, like Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, the iPhone 8—or whatever a 2017 iPhone (or Tenth Anniversary iPhone) ends up being called—should be a major design departure from prior models as it would supposedly get rid of the chin and forehead bezels by integrating Touch ID and the front-camera along with other sensors directly into the display.
