However, the iPhone manufacturer may use new sensors for the fundamentally new AR-related features.
Fast Company noted that the interest of the American company in the field of augmented reality is illustrated by rumors about working on 3D glasses. According to the source, a special 3D camera will allow users to create special digital content using their gadgets.

The publication recalled that in addition to the new camera, iPhone 12 should receive support for work in the fifth-generation networks. According to Japanese insiders, the next iPhone will get ultra-fast Wi-Fi support.
The new standard, called IEEE 802.11ay, operates at a frequency of 60 gigahertz and allows you to transfer data at speeds up to 40 gigabits per second with a range of up to 500 meters. In particular, the new technology will be used to transfer information between Apple devices. The presentation of the iPhone 12 is expected in September.
