The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are the only two models from Apple’s lineup this year to feature not just a triple camera configuration, but also a LiDAR sensor meant for AR-related applications. Previous reports mentioned that this LiDAR unit is more advanced than the sensor present on the 2020 iPad Pro, and that can only mean several opportunities will open up for users. For instance, if you don’t have an inching tape on you, then one purpose this LiDAR camera will fulfill is to measure someone’s height. Let us take a look at how something like this is possible.

While at first glance, this might appear to be a gimmick, the LiDAR camera on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max can actually deliver some benefits to the user and it will only be up to the developers to open up more possibilities in the future. For the time being, if you quickly want to measure someone’s height, while they are standing upright or seated, then the LiDAR camera present on both models will do the job for you.
